Step Two: A Grounded View
Last month I shared a photo of the Capitol building, taken from the top of the Washington Monument. This month I wanted to show you a different perspective – a view from inside the Capitol Rotunda, looking up 180 feet to the inside of a dome that’s recognized around the world. The painting on the ceiling (the Apotheosis) covers almost 4,300 square feet and contains a scene of the founding fathers sitting next to mythological characters while George Washington ascends into heaven. I always enjoy visiting the Capitol because it is where Congress debates the bills that become law, and there’s something incredible about being on the ground, in the place where that happens.
Speaking of the law, beginning March 3 FELTG is offering its famous webinar series for supervisors on all the laws – plus the regs, executive orders, best practices, and more – they need to know to effectively manage the federal workplace. Topics include performance, discipline, reasonable accommodation, leave, whistleblowing, harassment, and more. Early registration discounts are available until February 24, and this series meets OPM’s mandatory training requirements for supervisors at 5 CFR 412.202(b). Just one hour every two weeks is well worth the lessons learned.
It’s now time for the February 2020 newsletter. Look inside for articles on “informal” discipline, the Hatch Act, EEO, and more.
Enjoy,
Deborah J. Hopkins, FELTG President
