Maximizing Accountability in Performance

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had an appraisal system that helped managers effectively and quickly deal with unacceptable performance in the Federal workplace – and survive third-party review? Believe it or not, regardless of your current appraisal system, you can hold employees accountable if you know the parameters.

This one-day course gives you the tools you need to effectively analyze your existing appraisal system. We’ll cover writing effective performance plans including critical elements and performance standards, performance feedback, developing sample performance elements, identifying key elements to be assessed in subordinates’ evaluations, and much more.

Learning objectives

  • Set understandable and measurable performance standards.
  • Eliminate unacceptable performance requirements that are not based on law or regulation.
  • Quickly and effectively deal with unacceptable performance.

Event FAQs

Is there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training? 

Yes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you.

In what format is this class held?

The class may be held onsite at an agency location, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom, WebEx, Teams, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams.

Can I earn CLE credits for this class?

CLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended.
