Federal Manager Surveys: Assessing Confidence in Employee Discipline and Support.
This law mandates annual surveys for Federal managers (supervisors and management officials) to assess their attitudes regarding employee discipline and agency support. The goal is to identify systemic issues, such as lack of confidence in disciplinary procedures or inadequate training, that hinder effective management. By addressing these internal obstacles, the legislation aims to improve the overall efficiency and accountability of Federal agencies, ultimately benefiting the public services provided to citizens.
Key points
Mandates new annual surveys specifically for Federal managers (GS-13 and above) across all executive agencies.
The surveys focus on managers' confidence in the system to discipline employees and whether they feel supported by agency leadership.
Managers will be asked if the inability to discipline poor performers hurts team morale or causes good employees to leave.
The results are intended to help the government fix systemic barriers to effective management and improve accountability within the workforce.
