Supporting the Future of Work: BIG's First National Training Institute
Public servants have always risen to the challenge. But we have doubly done so as we helped our agencies respond to the needs of the American public when they needed government the most. And, we have done so amidst our own health concerns, childcare concerns, and technology stretched thin as it accommodated home offices and home classrooms.
Ensuring Consistent and Safe Guidance for Federal Managers
The Professional Managers Association (PMA) has been actively engaging with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) leadership, the Department of Treasury, and central management offices like OPM and OMB to support our members as they navigate working through the pandemic.
Supporting Career Governmental Leaders Lead Through Change
The Senior Executives Association is focused on providing federal, career senior governmental leaders with opportunities to lead, collaborate, network, learn, and grow during a challenging period in our history. The future of federal work, the workplace, and federal leadership will look nothing like the world we lived in before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supporting Fed Families with Tutoring
With many feds beginning to return to their workplaces at least some of the time and kids heading back to school, FEEA is pleased to continue our tutoring program this fall.
With Employees Returning to Work, Federal Managers Need Clarity
Some members of the Federal Managers Association (FMA) are returning to their physical workplaces after more than a year of a maximum telework posture. Others have been given permission to transition to an indefinite future in which their jobs are conducted either fully or primarily remotely. Both options present real challenges to be overcome and FMA is working hard to assist our members in addressing them.
Bolstering Federal Veterinarians Through the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges for all people in a variety of ways. For employers, one of such challenges included the need to adapt how employees showed up to work. For federal employees, many of whom serve in essential capacities, there were all kinds of adaptations and considerations that needed to be accounted for. The Federal Veterinarian community was no different.
So, What Comes Next?
As we at the National Academy of Public Administration think about how to safely and productively “return to work” we have been struck by the complexity of the decision and potential next steps.
