## Code 400 Directorate

**Notes:**
This is a depiction of how Code 400 looked in relation to ethnic and gender diversity within the Directorate as of 9/30/01 and again as of 3/30/02 (after the first phase of the STAAC reorg, which only brought in 6 minorities to the directorate).

## Distribution of Awards

**Total Directorate**

**Total Awards**

**Notes:**
As you can tell from this chart, the overall distribution of the awards is in line with the way the Directorate is laid out.  All skill groups, ethnic groups, gender, generational, and disabled groups were included in this breakout as well.

## GSFC Honor Awards

**Notes:**
11 GSFC Honor Awards were given to Code 400 employees during 2001
All gender, generational, skill groups were awarded
Issues:  For a more accurate comparison, Code 400 is in the process of tracking ALL awards that are submitted by categories requested.

## Performance Awards

**Notes:**
Distribution of performance awards was in line with the diversity of the Directorate
FY01 posed some difficulty in accurately tracking data
   - POES/GOES were allocated funds from NOAA which does not get reflected in the WIT Brio system GSFC uses
   - The performance period cycle did not coincide with awarding performance awards during 2001 vs Special Acts

## Special Act Awards

**Notes:**
Distribution of these awards may be a little skewed due to the timing of the performance award cycle during FY01.  A clearer depiction will be shown in FY02’s graph.

## Time Off Awards

**Notes:**
A good diverse selection over all categories was awarded during FY01 and the level and times awarded were appropriate for the quality of work achieved.
Issue:
Some of our Programs tend to utilize this award much better than others.  

## Quality Increase Awards

**Notes:**
Code 400 was given 5 awards during FY01.
Names were submitted by the program managers
Great time and attention were given to the nominations to ensure that all areas of diversity were considered for selection.

## Promotions

**Notes:**
This chart shows how many people within the Directorate were eligible for promotion and how many were actually promoted.

Lack of time in grade
Lack of time in position
