USGS Workforce Planning Data Guide

The Data Guide provides information on the USGS standard workforce data elements – what they are, and how to use them. See the “Glossary of Terms” and the “Measures and Metrics” sections for specific information on the data, data codes, and formulas used to compute metrics.

The USGS Human Resources Office researched a wide variety of generally accepted human capital metrics, and established standardized definitions and formulas with clear terminology in order to eliminate confusion in understanding, producing, and using USGS Workforce Demographics, Metrics, and Measures. Using these standards allows the USGS to concentrate on the most useful demographics, measures, and metrics, and ensures that the data is pulled and results calculated in the same way. As a result, USGS standard demographics, measures, and metrics are comparable across the USGS and across time, regardless of the organizational level.

How do I produce data for my own organization?

The Interior Business Center (IBC) in the Department of the Interior manages the FPPS (Federal Payroll and Personnel System) Datamart, the repository for USGS data. For information on getting access to the Datamart, go to https://dmartportal.ibc.doi.gov/DMARTPORTAL/ and see the information under “Datamart Forms”. You must have approved FPPS and Datamart access before accessing the data in the Datamart.

As of November 1, 2017, the Department of the Interior has moved to a new data mining tool called OBIEE for use with the Datamart. Hyperion is no longer accessible, and Hyperion queries no longer function.

For information on how to obtain access to the OBIEE data mining tool and required training, go to: https://dmartportal.ibc.doi.gov/DMARTPORTAL/FILES/?fn=Homepage_NewLicense1.html

Additional Data available

Additional Federal Human Resources data is available from the Office of Personnel Management’s FedScope tool at https://www.fedscope.opm.gov/.
