Overview

Though occupations vary greatly across the federal government, the responsibilities of the frontline supervisor do not. Every Federal supervisor needs to know how to implement an effective human resource and performance management process to achieve high performance.  New supervisors will gain valuable insights into the fundamental skills, behaviors and attitudes that define the successful Federal supervisor and maximize personal performance.

This week-long course can be combined with the Supervisory Development Seminar II for a two-week immersion experience to expand these fundamentals into a foundation for great leadership.

How You Will Benefit

  • Learn how to navigate the Federal human resource management system and differentiate appropriate personnel actions to recruit, hire and retain employees in the Federal workplace
  • Implement effective performance management practices that set expectations and encourage effective performance
  •  Learn how to process appropriate personnel actions required to discipline and terminate employees who are poor performers or who violate workplace behavioral principles
  • Formulate a plan to improve personal performance upon returning to the workplace

Who Should Attend

New  supervisors and experienced supervisors who have not completed formal supervisory training, and those transitioning to Federal civil service from the military or private sector.

All new Federal supervisors are required to receive training within one year of being appointed into the position.
