HHS Human Resources Policy 430-2: Performance Management Appraisal Program (PMAP)

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a new performance management policy for non-senior career positions. The new policy was issued in response to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)'s memorandums "Performance Management for Federal Employees" and "Guidance on Awards for Federal Employees." The new policy shifts HHS's performance management reviews from five performance levels to three performance levels for employee ratings and reflects OPM's efforts to limit top performance ratings.
