FORT KNOX, Ky. - Senior Navy human resources officers visited U.S. Army Human Resources Command March 26 to review best practices with sister branch practitioners as both branches transform personnel management in an era of budget constraints and force downsizing.

The day of discussions and dialogue brought together officers from the Navy Manpower and Analysis Center and the Millington Regional HR Center with senior representatives of The Adjutant General of the Army Directorate, Officer Personnel Management Directorate, Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate, Personnel Information Systems Directorate and the Commandant of the Adjutant General Corps for an in-depth look at Army practices in HR management.

Major areas of shared interest included implementing cost efficiencies and applying technology to drive effectiveness, improve work force engagement and appeal to the potential recruits. They also discussed leveraging talent management to foster innovation in personnel management, policy and procedures.

In the intermediate future, HRC will send a team to visit Navy Personnel Command at Millington, Tennessee, and a Navy team will travel to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, for further discussions at the Adjutant General Schoolhouse. Reciprocal visits to each other's data and call centers will also be arranged.

Rear Adm. Annie Andrews, commander, Navy Recruiting Command, joined the visitors for office calls with HRC Deputy Commander Brig. Gen. Barbara L. Owens and EPMD Director Col. Douglas Stitt.
