SUMMARY:Managing and Supporting Employees with Bipolar Disorder
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 2.8% of the U.S. population experiences the diagnosis of bipolar disorder\, which carries a stigma and corresponding myths and misconceptions. \nTo help employees be successful in the Federal workplace\, it’s important for agencies to develop a clear understanding of what to do (and what not to do) if someone is having an acute episode\, as well as learn about the day-to-day needs of individuals who have bipolar disorder. \nLearning objectives\n\nDevelop effective communication strategies with an employee in an acute manic or depressive episode.\nIdentify reasonable accommodations for an employee with bipolar disorder.\nHandle a crisis in the workplace due to symptoms of bipolar disorder.\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.

SUMMARY:Preventing and Correcting Hostile Work Environment Harassment

SUMMARY:Developing and Defending Discipline: Holding Federal Employees Accountable
DESCRIPTION:Holding Federal employees accountable for performance and conduct is easier than you might think. Too many supervisors believe that an employee’s protected activity precludes the supervisor from initiating a suspension or removal\, but that’s just not true. \nPart 1: Accountability for Performance and Conduct \nFELTG is here to make Federal supervisors’ lives easier by clarifying how to take defensible misconduct actions quickly and fairly – actions that withstand scrutiny on appeal by the MSPB\, EEOC\, or in grievance arbitration. Understand how to investigate misconduct\, plus the craft behind drafting charges and the importance of the Douglas factors in penalty selection. \nThen\, we shift the discussion to performance – from writing valid performance standards to removing an employee for unacceptable performance. Longer classes may also cover handling the absent employee\, mentorship\, union considerations\, or supervisor liability. \nPart 2: Defending Against Discrimination Complaints: The Supervisor’s Role \nAttendees will leave this class with a thorough understanding of the EEO complaint process in the Federal government\, from recognizing the protected categories (race\, color\, national origin\, religion\, sex\, age\, disability\, genetic information\, and reprisal) to what happens if you’re a Responding Management Official or a witness in a complaint. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the tools supervisors have for addressing misconduct and unacceptable performance.\nImplement a Performance Demonstration Period when necessary.\nKnow what to do if you’re a Responding Management Official in a complaint.\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.

It shatters misconceptions about performance and misconduct-based actions and offers step-by-step guidance for taking swift\, appropriate\, and legally defensible actions. \nThe class begins with a discussion of accountability and supervisory authority and highlight the differences between performance and misconduct issues before launching into discipline theory and practice\, including the types of discipline\, disciplinary charges\, using the Douglas factors in penalty selection\, and due process considerations. After a discussion of disciplinary documents\, procedures and appeals\, the class switches focus to dealing with unacceptable performance. Learn how to set realistic performance expectations\, clarify vague performance standards\, and implement a performance demonstration period (DP\, what some agencies call a PIP)\, and successfully implement the performance-based removal procedures when necessary. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the tools supervisors have for addressing misconduct and unacceptable performance.\nName the five elements of discipline and describe how the Douglas factors aid in selecting a defensible penalty.\nProperly implement a performance Demonstration Period (DP)\, often referred to as a PIP.\nIdentify alternatives to discipline and situations where they might be appropriate.\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.

SUMMARY:EEO Compliance Training
DESCRIPTION:When the EEOC issues a finding of discrimination\, harassment\, reprisal\, or failure to accommodate\, it’s common for the Commission to order mandatory compliance training for the offenders. Sometimes\, the orders are required for all supervisors or all staff within an organization – and there’s usually a short window to complete the training. \nWhile some may jokingly refer to this as “punishment training\,” it’s anything but: It’s an opportunity to learn from specific mistakes and help attendees understand how to foster a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels safe to contribute. If your agency is required to provide compliance training as the result of a very specific EEO issue\, why-oh-why would you want to buy a generic recording made 5 years ago and “check the box” to meet the order? Wouldn’t it do your agency’s employees good to have a training tailored to the exact problems you’ve encountered? \nOne of the reasons the EEOC orders training is to prevent the issue from occurring again.

SUMMARY:Avoiding the Dangers of EEO Reprisal
DESCRIPTION:When a complaint is filed with your agency’s EEO office\, it’s possible that something very wrong has happened. And it’s possible nothing happened at all. Yet\, how agency officials respond to that complaint could go a long way towards not only resolving the complaint\, but also ensuring you don’t make matters worse. \nToo often\, a supervisor or agency official’s response to an EEO complaint leads to a claim of reprisal. And more often than anyone should expect\, that reprisal claim survives\, even when it’s found that the original complaint’s discrimination allegations had no merit. Reprisal claims make up the bulk of EEO complaints. This course will prepare you to make sure your words and actions don’t lead to a finding of reprisal. \nLearning objectives \n\nIdentify the elements of a valid reprisal claim.\nUnderstand why supervisors retaliate\, and how to get them to stop.\nRecognize per se reprisal claims.\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.

SUMMARY:Avoiding Mistakes in Selection and Promotion Cases
DESCRIPTION:Selection and promotion processes can be emotional\, especially for those who aren’t selected. If you’re a Federal EEO practitioner or supervisor\, chances are you’ve had a case where an employee alleges that they were not selected or promoted because of something other than job qualifications. \nNonselection cases present agency reps with major challenges\, from properly defining the claim to collecting the right information during the investigation\, and\, eventually\, to presenting evidence at the hearing or in a motion for summary judgment. \nLearning objectives\n\nEnsure that your selection criteria are valid and objective.\nExplain the importance of selection records.\nDefend your selection cases before the EEOC or an arbitrator.\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.

SUMMARY:Barking Up the Wrong Tree? Service and Emotional Support Animals in the Workspace
DESCRIPTION:Most of us know something about service animals\, but what about emotional support animals\, comfort animals\, and the like? Are they permitted in the workplace? The EEOC’s stance that an emotional support animal may be a required reasonable accommodation for a qualified individual with a disability\, even if it is not a trained service dog\, fails to provide an easy answer. \nThis presentation will provide guidance to help you make this challenging reasonable accommodation determination. \nLearning objectives\n\nDetermine the difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal.\nRecognize when an emotional support animal would be a reasonable accommodation.\nEffectively navigate the interactive process when requests for animals in the workplace arise.\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.

SUMMARY:Dealing with ‘Other’ Harassment: It’s Not Always About EEO
DESCRIPTION:Not everyone has the same definition of “harassment.” While most professionals recognize harassment that violates Title VII\, some employees consider it harassment when supervisors provide critical performance feedback or assign work. In between\, there are threatening\, intimidating\, and disturbing acts that are unrelated to protected classes\, but nonetheless may be non-EEO harassment and must be addressed as misconduct. \nThis program will identify the lines that separate different levels of harassment\, both perceived and real. It will also explain how and when to address harassment as misconduct. \nLearning objectives\n\nDifferentiate between non-EEO harassment\, EEO harassment\, and actions that don’t qualify as harassment.\nUse the appropriate disciplinary framework for handling harassment.\nRecognize agency obligations for addressing harassing employee behavior.\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.
