Arms control and disarmament agency

Technical Report · Mon Oct 01 04:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5413748

In March 1989, the State Department's Inspector General issued a report characterizing the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency's (ACDA) operations and activities - including its personnel practices - as skewed and lacking organization. Limited development and training programs for career ACDA employees as well as equal employment opportunity problems were noted. In August 1989, OPM recommended that ACDA develop a new structure and career path for its clerical and technical staff. GAO found that top management at ACDA has not taken adequate action to address the personnel management problems identified in these 1989 reports. GAO believes that establishment of more systematic career development, training, and affirmative action programs would demonstrate to career employees at ACDA that management is actively committed to improving personnel practices. This should improve employee morale and enhance work productivity.
