At NIDDK we have designed an innovative, no-cost, Excel-based tool that captures OPM-defined focus areas and automates FEVS analysis. EVS ART has generated excitement at the NIH and we’d like to further distribute it to benefit all federal agencies, HHS and beyond – such as with our fellow HCMG attendees:
•Is an easy five step excel based tool capturing OPM-defined focus results tool
•Reduces FEVS analysis processing time from hours/days/weeks to mere minutes
•Aids in the timely strategic creation of employee-based initiatives
