Here's $2 Million, Boss
 By Tom Shoop | Monday, November 19, 2007  |  04:37 PM

The employees of the Office of Governmentwide Policy at the General Services Administration have given agency administrator Lurita Doan an early Christmas present: a check for $2 million. That's how much the employees of the office saved through efficiency improvements, officials say.

Now Doan just needs to decide what to do with the money. Kevin Messner, acting associate GSA administrator in charge of OGP, has an idea: "It is my hope that the money will remain unspent and thus contribute to reducing the federal deficit," he says.

Too bad that GSA did not have the knowledge or foresight to establish a "Goalsharing" program as my federal agency did a couple years ago. Each year since its inception, each employee in our agency receives a portion of the saved amount. This year each ee is to get about $1700. It helps keep everyone motivated to continue to look for revenue saving and generating ideas.
