In the Spring of 2012, DOE launched and initiative to improve our Performance-Based Culture.  A key element of this effort is the Department's participation in the government wide performance management initiative focused on Goals-Engagement-Accountability-Results (GEAR).

According to GEAR the five recommendations to create high-performing organizations that are aligned, accountable, and focused on results are:

  1. Articulate a high performance culture
  2. Align employee performance management with organizational performance management
  3. Implement accountability at all levels
  4. Create a culture of engagement
  5. Improve the assessment, selection, development and training of supervisors
