Stressed about NSPS?

Discover how to win with the newest innovation to the Federal Government's pay and performance system in 50 years!

Dear Friend,

When you hear NSPS, what comes to mind?

Usually, the word evokes:

  • fear

  • mistrust

  • anger

  • apathy

  • despair 

It’s reduced employees to tears, fits of rage, and immediate displays of “attitude.”  The unions hate it, seasoned employees loathe it, and newer employees view it with caution.   

Rumors abound about NSPS:  It’s a

  • shaping tool

  • cost-cutting tool

  • way to get rid of older workers

  • way to attract younger, more educated workers 

Workers will lose their benefits, seniority, promotability, and probably lots of money.  Job security is gone.  Out with the old, in with the new. 

I’ve heard all of this and more. 

I beg to differ. 

Who am I and why do I disagree? 

I’m Malcolm O. Munro, the Career Fitness Coach.  I’m a professional speaker, author, consultant, and coach who has, for the past three years, been involved in the communication and training of supervisors in the NSPS.  By the way, in case you’re wondering, NSPS stands for National Security Personnel System. 

I began working the process with the Air Force.  As part of a training force with a contractor, I taught supervisors how to have productive conversations around NSPS.  Believe me, all the comments in the paragraphs above were constants in my workshops.  After teaching over 80 workshops to probably around 2,000 employees, I began to see the above patterns emerge. 

Once NSPS was officially implemented, the patterns shifted to resignation that the system would not go away (this seemed to coincide with Donald Rumsfeld’s firing in 2006) and employees began thinking of ways to make the best of the new system. I began training groups in other DoD components on writing job objectives and self-assessments.  The more I taught that curriculum, the more I realized how a motivated employee could benefit from this system. In fact, a motivated employee who maximized the system could make a lot of money! 

Now I’m sure there are some who are skeptical even as they read this.  I don’t blame them.  This is the first major change in the Federal Government system in over 50 years.  There is still a portion of this system that’s subjective in nature. You may also know someone in the system who may have not done well after the Pay Pool shares were handed out.  Here’s what I’ll tell you: 

Focus on what you CAN change and not on all the possible things that MIGHT go wrong.

Let me show you how to win with this system!
