Mandatory Training and Competency Assessment for Federal Supervisors
This law mandates regular, comprehensive training for all managers and supervisors across federal agencies. The goal is to improve employee management, boost productivity, and ensure fair, respectful, and harassment-free workplaces. Citizens should benefit from more efficient government services delivered by better-prepared leadership.
Key points
All new federal supervisors must complete mandatory training within one year of appointment, followed by refresher courses at least every three years.
Training topics include performance evaluation, mentoring, preventing harassment and discrimination, and effectively managing low-performing employees.
Federal agencies must assess their supervisors' management skills and capacity based on new competency guidelines issued by the Office of Personnel Management.
