Putting the ‘Civil’ in Civil Servant
If you follow the news, you probably agree there doesn’t seem to be much civility in Washington, DC – or really the country – right now. Congress is engaged in an uncivil civil war, and the American people, especially federal employees, are stuck in the middle.
FELTG readers are probably familiar with our signature class UnCivil Servant: Holding Federal Employees Accountable for Performance and Conduct, created by the one and only Bill Wiley. It’s a program that empowers federal supervisors to take the legal steps to get their employees to do their jobs, or else move on.
Well, FELTG now has a class that presents the opposite side of UnCivil Servant, and it’s targeted specifically to federal employees: The Civil Civil Servant: Protections, Performance, and Conduct. It provides federal employees with an understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the law, and challenges them to be more engaged and effective employees. Engaged employees are less likely to cause their supervisors or HR offices the time- and energy-consuming drama that is not only costly, but serves as a roadblock to agency mission. Check out all the details here.
Take care,
