The Top 10 Mistakes Agencies Make When Dealing With Performance Issues — and How to Avoid Them
Barbara Haga

According to OPM's latest Federal Human Capital Survey, 70 percent of employees feel their managers fail to take action against co-workers’ unacceptable performance. But with specific procedures in place, why don't managers pursue disciplinary action? Is it a fear that their action will be overturned?

Learn — from an experienced practitioner — how to prepare defensible performance plans for employees who aren't meeting minimum performance expectations.

In just 90 minutes, federal HR expert Barbara Haga provides an in-depth examination of performance-based actions taken under Part 432 (Performance Based Reduction in Grade and Removal) and Part 752 (Adverse Actions), including a discussion of your agency's procedural requirements. Through personal success stories, Ms. Haga outlines proven strategies to avoid the top 10 mistakes agencies make when dealing with performance issues, including:

  1. Missing the opportunity to "flesh out" generic performance standards
  2. Removing or downgrading an employee for failing to meet "fully successful" standards when the agency system includes a "minimally successful" level
  3. Failing to provide promised assistance during the performance improvement period (PIP)
  4. Removing the employee's duties during the PIP

    ... And 6 more common missteps!

Plus, Ms. Haga reviews MSPB cases involving performance standards and explains what the decisions mean for your agency. Learn everything you and your managers need to initiate — and complete — successful performance actions!
