Employee Performance Development

Government agencies have long sought to recognize, reward and retain outstanding employees, but the civil service system has made that extremely difficult to accomplish. New mandates currently exist that allow government managers more flexibility to reward employees, but agencies may not use the higher pay caps unless OPM and the Office of Management and Budget certify that their executive performance plans make "meaningful distinctions based on relative performance." Acquire the skills necessary to further emphasize employee success and transform those employees into the leaders of tomorrow.

Key Methodologies Covered

This training will focus on developing performance-based employee performance plans by applying OPM core competencies as a template for developing results-oriented employee performance development plans. This framework is derived from best practices at all levels of government and is compliant with Merit Systems Protection Board.
