Chief Information Officers Council (Multi-Agency Funded)

Client/Funder:
Chief Information Officers Council -- Multi-Agency Funded (Posted January 2001)

Purpose and Scope:
The National Academy of Public Administration will conduct a study of the federal government's compensation of information technology (IT) professionals. This work will assist the government in developing alternative systems and approaches that will enable it to attract and retain the talent needed to carry out the information technology functions in the federal sector. In addition to refining the recruitment and retention issues for this occupational field, the study will review current practices in both the public and private sector and provide a cost benefit analysis of the basic compensation alternatives. Using this information, the study team will design possible solutions to the problems identified. Once a plan is developed, the Academy will develop a strategy to provide information on the study results to stakeholders and devise an implementation plan for the proposed changes.
