Themes:
APA-M has four themes -
- Reward Performance. To manage Army's people fairly we must be open and honest about the basis for our decisions. To that end the basis for selections in contested decisions in the SR will be to reward performance, or in other words to recognise merit.
- Performance Management. To determine merit we rely on accurate reporting by leaders at all levels. APA-M will reinforce the importance of the PAR as a performance management tool, and improve training on the compilation of this fundamental management tool. In parallel we will conduct fair and transparent promotion processes to assess relative merit and will improve our communication of the results of these events.
- Innovation. We know the needs of our work force are always changing. We undertake to be innovative in all our dealings with Army's officers and soldiers, seeking ways to do career management better. We will do this to better communicate with you, to allow you to have greater visibility of how we do business and to give you a greater say in the management of your career.
- Networked Delivery of Personnel Management. Improvements to our web site and the information being pushed out to you electronically are evidence of our determination to explore new ways of delivering our services by the use of networked technologies. We welcome ideas about how we can do this better.
