The Pentagon's Lead Intelligence Agency aka the 'Silver Bullet' Has an HR Problem
2022-11-30
[Defense One] The Defense Intelligence Agency has a longstanding HR problem: too few human-resources workers to help the rest of its growing workforce. Now the agency is aiming to boost recruiting and retention of HR staff by updating its record-keeping and telework systems.

The DIA has "chronically under-invested in our human resources capabilities" since 2008, when it absorbed intelligence personnel from military departments in combatant commands, agency chief of staff John Kirchhofer said Tuesday.

"We never grew our HR capacity to support that. And that was part of the logic at the time: ’we can do this cheaply,’" Kirchhofer said Tuesday. "But when you're faced with a crisis, you realize that doing it cheaply is not serving the workforce well."

For example, he said, "We struggle on some of the basics like making sure that awards are done in a timely fashion, that pay and compensation is taken care of, and personnel actions are up to date."

So DIA has been working with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the defense undersecretary for intelligence and security to boost its HR to a healthy level that can support DIA’s 16,500 employees in more than 100 countries. Kirchhofer also said the agency plans to hire 1,000 employees a year.

#4  too few human-resources workers

You can never have too few HR people. I'm guessing this is drama to get in some kind of woke police brigade into the DoD by hiring absolute libtard curiosities.
