I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, fed-bashing has risen to unprecedented levels. And with mid-term elections on the horizon, this popular political sport is likely to continue unabated – with its negative impact on federal employees and potential applicants. It’s apparent that the strain on many feds is showing. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up – it’s time to rally.
I’m honored to be presenting “The Resilient Federal Employee,” the opening plenary at this year’s Federal Dispute Resolution Training (San Francisco, July 14 – 17) where I’ll be sharing with hundreds of our federal leaders how to manage and motivate their staff through these tumultuous times. Among other things, I’ll be taking a candid look at how to reverse the corrosive effects of poor morale, retain valued employees with vital skills, and recruit and hire the best and brightest in such a toxic atmosphere.
If this sounds familiar, I hope you’ll join me in San Francisco where you’ll not only hear what I have to say but will also benefit from the guidance and insight of a highly respected faculty of presenters aiming to help you reduce workplace conflict, avoid costly claims and better manage staff. FDR was one of my favorite conferences when I was in government and I am delighted to be participating. In addition to the opening plenary, I will also be doing a pre-conference session on Reduction in Force and an interview with OPM’s Tim Curry and Ann Marie Habershaw.
