DETROIT ARSENAL -- The new DoD Performance Management and Appraisal Program, known as DPMAP or New Beginnings, is a standardized Defense-wide performance and appraisal program set to begin this year. Although the terms DPMAP and New Beginnings are used interchangeably, New Beginnings encompasses reforms in the areas of hiring flexibilities, training and development, and workforce incentives. DPMAP is an initiative under New Beginnings.
All Army Materiel Command employees at the GS-13 through GS-15 pay grades will join the system in July 2017; GS-12 and below, and Federal Wage System employees and supervisors will join in November 2017; and Wage Grade employees will join by July 2018.
According to Paul Lechner, Workforce Development Division, TACOM G1 (Human Capital), employees in the Department of Defense Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project will remain in their current system.
Training for subject matter experts from TACOM, including depots and arsenals, will be held in January and February. Courses for supervisors and employees will be held March through June on the Detroit Arsenal; after that, bi-weekly sessions will be added at TACOM G1 through the end of FY17. Supervisors and employees will be trained together.
The employee and supervisor training will be listed with available dates in TED, the Total Employee Development website.
