SUMMARY:Accountability for Conduct and Performance
DESCRIPTION:One of the quickest ways to damage workplace morale is when employees see a coworker getting away with unacceptable performance or misconduct. The less you look away from these problems\, the more likely it is for good employees to stay. \nThis class offers an immersion into accountability principles\, regardless of whether employees are in the office\, working remotely\, or part of a hybrid workforce. You’ll leave with simple step-by-step guidance for taking swift\, appropriate\, and legally defensible conduct- and performance-based actions. \nLearning objectives\n\nEffectively and immediately address unacceptable performance and misconduct.\nEnsure accountability of all employees\, regardless of their work location.\nIdentify alternatives to traditional disciplinary actions.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you. \nIn what format is this class held? \nThe class may be held onsite at an agency location\, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom\, WebEx\, Teams\, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts\, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams. \nCan I earn CLE credits for this class?\nCLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit\, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended. \nIs this Training Compliant with the 2025 Executive Orders? \nAll FELTG classes are in compliance with the Trump administration’s Executive Orders.
