Provide advice on the development of effective performance contracts/plans and works with program officials to assure the systematic evaluation and reward of employees covered under established performance systems. CIT has determined that Ms. Signaigo possesses the unique combination of knowledge, skills and abilities and understanding of the CIT organization and human resource and management needs to successfully accomplish the specified tasks. She has been providing a combination of management and human resource advisory, technical and operational services for over 25 years. She has worked directly with CIT senior managers over the last six years in providing a full range of human resource and management services in areas related to CIT organizational development, workforce planning, human resource planning reviews, performance contract/performance management, employee relations, recruitment, classification, compensation, IT personnel security, training and a variety of special project areas. Based on her personal knowledge of the evolution of the CIT, her unique grasp of the information technology services provided by the various operating divisions of the CIT, her active participation with key management officials, and her standing and expertise in the community, she has been able to independently perform these tasks and present management completed work products. Ms. Signaigo has worked closely with CIT Office and Division Directors, including the CIT Executive Officer in providing expert level support to requests from the NIH and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), requiring in-depth knowledge of the types of IT services provided by CIT, the categorization of the competencies possessed by CIT staff, and ability to translate that information into meaningful responses. By virtue of her previous experience, Ms. Signaigo has an in-depth understanding of the organizational and HR needs of CIT to fulfill its mission which, in part, is to (1) provide leadership at NIH for the determination of NIH computational and telecommunications needs, (2) maintain a state-of-the-art regional computer facility, (3) provide leadership and focus within NIH for the development and implementation of IT policy and standards, and (4) serve as a Federal Data Processing Center. During a recent requirement to move all CIT managers and supervisors to performance contracts, Ms. Signaigo served as the key resource in developing those contracts and metrics used in individual performance contracts and in ensuring consistency across the CIT. While employed with CIT, she served as the Deputy Human Resource Officer and was a key advisor to CIT management on highly sensitive issues in the areas of human resources, especially employee relations. By successfully managing several complex cases, and serving as the lead advisor to other HR staff, CIT was able to establish a record of dealing fairly and appropriately with performance and conduct related issues. Her advice and expertise on these cases also increased her standing with management officials in successfully working to correct these kinds of problems. With the centralization of HR services, the CIT has had to reorient the delivery of several areas of HR that are not provided by the central HR office. Ms. Signaigo has been able to effectively work with CIT staff in redeploying assignments throughout the CIT as appropriate and developing policies and procedures to implement these decentralized services. CIT has determined that based upon her previous experience and expertise, Ms. Signaigo will not require orientation to CIT?s organizational and HR activities and issues, and is the only source with the unique qualifications who can successfully accomplish the specified tasks.
