OPM has released a new web-based training course for supervisors, managers, employee relations practitioners, and future and current executives titled “Basic Employee Relations: Your Accountability as a Supervisor or Manager.”
“The course is designed to help educate and provide federal leaders with knowledge and strategies to successfully hold their employees accountable in the workplace – an objective consistently shown through workplace studies as a critical contributor to organizational success and positive human capital management outcomes. The course is highly-interactive – integrating electronic job aids and activities to increase and enhance learning,” OPM said in a memo to agencies.
The course provides “the tools and resources to proactively and effectively address employees who are engaging in misconduct or demonstrating poor performance. Agency labor and employee relations program offices should become familiar with the course and incorporate it where appropriate,” it adds.
The course is available through the hru.gov site.
