Analysis & Reporting

In addition to streamlining personnel management actions through eOPF, EHRI provides workforce analytic and planning capabilities to improve human capital management across the federal employee base. These easy-to-use, strategic tools are accessed by HR Specialists, report writers and executives to determine current needs, forecast future requirements, and report on other HR-related issues. They include:

• Business Intelligence (BI)
• Civilian Forecasting System (CIVFORS)
• Workforce Analysis Support System (WASS)

Together, these applications enable a level of strategic human capital planning that previously was difficult if not impossible to achieve. EHRI users query workforce data from a variety of perspectives to determine statistical counts, averages, correlation and so forth. Trends are determined for retirements, promotions, reassignments, and other significant personnel actions. It provides access to a civilian personnel data warehouse containing 35 years of historical federal employee data.

Business Intelligence
The Business Intelligence (BI) reporting application provides on-demand and user defined query, drill down reporting and analysis capabilities. Ad-hoc queries are executed on a number of subject areas including (but not limited to): age, agency, employee, payroll, performance appraisal, personnel action, position, and retirement. The tool enhances strategic decision-making by delivering visual graphic capability with dashboards and executive summaries.

The Civilian Forecasting System
The Civilian Forecasting System (CIVFORS) offers a life-cycle modeling and projection tool. It provides forward-looking analytical data and seven year projections based on five years of historical data. The forecasting tool includes manpower target data, projections for accession requirements and separations (by type), and optimizes to target levels. As a workforce planning tool, CIVFORS helps determine projected vacancies by occupation, grade, organizations units, or geographic location.

The Workforce Analysis Support System
The Workforce Analysis Support System (WASS) enables users to retrieve data for workforce planning and designing output reports from a civilian personnel data warehouse containing 35 years of historical federal employee data. Statistical analysis routines (SAS scripting) are used to retrieve data from the data warehouse. The tool provides access to data files for strength data, Nature of Action (NOA) files for specialized studies, and edited gains and losses files. Through the WASS, information regarding turnover, aging workforce, retirements, and many more workforce statistics are available.
