Through a comprehensive analysis of FSA's organization, operations, and goals, the YRCI Team will compile a Baseline Report of current conditions and a Workforce Optimization Report outlining suggestions for organizational improvement.

YRCI will, therefore, be able to provide validation that: (1) all employee OPFs contain official documents that are up-to-date as of the employees' current appointment; (2) all compensation and benefit forms are sufficiently represented in the employee's official employment record; and (3) all other personnel payroll data in the OPF are accurately represented and authorized.
