The 2009 Federal Supervisor Training Act

by Gail Finger
Senior Consultant

A recent article in NextGov reported on The 2009 Federal Supervisor Training Act which would require all agencies to provide new managers with training on developing performance expectations with their employees and evaluating them within their first year on the job. Current supervisors would have three years to complete the training. The goal is to “ensure that federal supervisors develop and maintain the skills necessary to engage employees in achieving better organizational performance."
.

Everyone is working on tighter budgets, yet government agencies still need to hire and retain top talent and keep employees engaged and focused on the agency’s mission. At Edizen, we know the value of having leaders who can engage their workforce. A great deal of research has been done on employee engagement and the numbers are clear: highly engaged employees are more productive, provide better customer service, and create a positive work environment.
