SAS^® Human Capital Management for Defense

The US Department of Defense is facing a significant human capital challenge. More than 60 percent of the department’s civilian work force will be eligible to leave service by 2006. Although the percentage of young workers in the population is rising, the propensity of young people to enlist in the military has declined over the past decade.   In the Spotlight Defense Manpower Data Center The Defense Manpower Data Center, the personnel data support division for the Department of Defense, relies on SAS to supply the information needed to make policy decisions. In addition to the President’s Management Agenda, which identifies strategically managing human capital as a major initiative, the Business Management Modernization Program calls for the department to be managed in an efficient, businesslike manner. These mandates mean that organizations must take a more customer-centric, holistic view of active and reserve military personnel, civilian employees, and contractors throughout their life cycles – beginning with the time an individual is recruited, hired or enlisted and through to retirement. To meet these challenges effectively, organizations need to not only manage data but also analyze, report and share information and results across the enterprise through a successful human capital management strategy.
