DCHRMS is a cloud-based human resources personnel system that is integrating six different databases into one. DCHRMS is making it more flexible to share information between Components, while standardizing and streamlining personnel processes. Some of the guiding principles for DCHRMS include a single employee database for the DoD; increased business efficiencies; improved functionality for recruit-to-fill, compensation, and transfers; and self-service capabilities for managers and end users. These capabilities will enhance the user's ability to execute a wide range of human resources functions.
In addition, DCHRMS will include Performance Management to support the Defense Civilian Intelligence Performance System and the Defense Performance Management and Appraisal Program. This will allow users to navigate within one system to execute core HR and performance management processes. The application offers an automated performance management solution, which includes a dashboard for managers, links to employee within-grade increases, and performance awards.

Implementation
- DCHRMS Team continues to make progress - We have completed Conference Room Pilot 4 of 8 and have begun configurations for Conference Room Pilot 5.
- After Conference Room Pilot 5 we will finalize all needed capabilities for Performance Management.
- In February, DCHRMS received an Oracle release that addresses significant capabilities in the product, which will create efficiencies in Manager and Employee Self-Service and our HR Core processes.
- We've begun to finalize critical canned reports, interfaces, and data. In the final months we will finalize all pay calculations, Nature of Actions, and Business Rules.
Training
- The official pilot of the Phase 1 T3 training (Instructor Facilitation Course) will begin in February starting 23-25 February from 9-3 EST each day.
- There are 30 seats, and those seats are for identified component trainers that have never trained. We think this population will provide a pretty good gauge of the effectiveness of Phase 1 training. This course will provide the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques to ensure proper facilitation and engagement once training starts.
