Fort McCoy’s Directorate of Human Resources (DHR) has created a new SharePoint (CAC enabled) site for the purpose of sharing plans and programs with the workforce.

The Garrison Workforce Information Portal (GWIP), located at https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/usag-fmwi-dhr-gwip/SitePages/GWIP.aspx?OR=Teams-HL&CT=1667922065669&clickparams=eyJBcHBOYW1lIjoiVGVhbXMtRGVza3RvcCIsIkFwcFZlcnNpb24iOiIyNy8yMjEwMjgwNzIwMCIsIkhhc0ZlZGVyYXRlZFVzZXIiOmZhbHNlfQ%3D%3D, is a work in progress, and some parts are still “under construction” but Fort McCoy DHR is making continuous improvements as new suggestions and updates are being completed.

The site was created to align with the Garrison’s Installation Management Systems’ Human Resources policy, which outlines 12 functional areas that need to be shared with the workforce.

As a result, there are 12 tiles on the site, which link to specific information and content. These tiles are:

• Recruitment, hiring, and retention.

• Onboarding.

• Time & attendance/pay/workplace schedules/telework.

• Organizational protocol/emergency procedures.

• Workforce development.

• Defense Performance Management & Appraisal Program.

• Incentive awards.

• Wellness.

• Position management.

• Succession planning.

• Departures/retirement.

• Civilian personnel human resources.

Two primary components are required for success, that is, the voice of the customer — user feedback about content and functionality, and collaboration with our garrison staff who are content subject matter experts.

This endeavor is the first of its kind, and success and set-backs are part of the process, said Workforce Development Officer Michael Modawell with DHR.
