CONCLUSION “Growing your people through involvement in strategic plan- ning, offering them opportunities to lead and providing them the tools to succeed in a family-like atmosphere is the best guarantee of meeting mission,” Joe Pelino, deputy PM, said. A workforce that participates in the evolution of the organization can lead alternative ideas to “traditional” workforce develop- ment efforts. It is a positive feedback cycle of ideas and workforce ownership of the organization, that leads to increased workforce satisfaction, benefitting the employees and organization alike.
on a regular basis. To this end, PM CCS initiated an onboard- ing process that has received excellent testimonials and has been replicated by other PMs throughout JPEO A&A. Te human resources (HR) office meets with every new employee whether military, civilian or contractor, and welcomes them to the organi- zation with a welcome package. During this process, HR reviews the welcome package with the new employee, explaining the organization. Topics discussed are the project manager’s philos- ophy, the culture of commitment to a cohesive and flexible work environment focused on leadership and professional develop- ment, collaboration and teamwork, and recognition. Te HR team discusses the PM’s portfolio of products and how we are unique from the other organizations under JPEO A&A because of our diverse portfolio. Tis package leads to a quicker learning curve for new employees and is even used by longtime PM CCS employees as a reference. New employees particularly like the “faces” portion of the welcome package, which features a photo of everyone in the organization. Tis adds to quicker familiar- ity between the existing and incoming workforce, leading to increased cohesion.
“Te onboarding process was great,” said Butch Burgess, a contract employee with PM CCS since 2021. “Even as a contrac- tor I was treated as a full team member from day one. It was like, ‘Welcome to the family.’ ”
