The Civilian Human Resources Case Management System (FedHR Navigator or
FedHR) deployment started in September 2015 with pilot testing focused on
usability, customer acceptance, and standardization of processes for case
initiation and workflow. Feedback from the pilot deployment was used to
establish the deployment plan.
Next month, the Office of Civilian Human Resources (CG-121) will begin the
final phase of the system deployment. At the conclusion of this phase,
supervisors of civilian employees will begin submitting personnel,
recruitment, and classification requests using FedHR (OOA June 15, 2017).
This phase marks the end of an 18-month initiative to:
- Standardize the submission and routing of requests
submitted to CG-121
- Provide greater transparency of personnel action,
recruitment, and classification status
- Improve collaboration between supervisors, civilian
resource coordinators (CRCs), and HR
- Provide stakeholders with easy-to-use reporting
capabilities
- Reduce paperwork
For this phase, CG-121 will conduct "Train the Trainer" sessions with unit
CRCs then CRCs will engage subordinate unit supervisors to provide
demonstrations of the FedHR supervisory role. Implementation of this phase
will provide supervisors the ability to:
- Electronically initiate/authorize, digitally sign, and
route personnel actions (SF-52s), recruitment requests, and
classification requests
- Track workflow routing status
- View case history, generate reports, and receive case
notifications
My staff will send an Advisory Notice from Civilian Human Resources (ANCHR)
to our civilian employees and supervisory cadre in the coming week. The
ANCHR will communicate the deployment plan in more detail. At the conclusion
of the deployment plan, the staff will send another ANCHR indicating the
project plan is complete and signifying the last date the Civilian Human
Resources office will receive paper-based requests for personnel action,
recruitment requests, and classification requests (OOA August 1, 2017).
The deployment of FedHR is a significant step forward for the overall
management of our civilian human resources system. I recognize the
deployment effort overlaps with the beginning of the military transfer
season and the closeout of the civilian performance cycle and appreciate
your continued support for this effort. The civilian human resources staff
is ready to support your staff in the successful implementation of FedHR
Navigator to our supervisory cadre. The Office of Civilian Human Resources
point of contact for this deployment is Donna Basey (Donna.Basey@uscg.mil).
