The meeting agenda will include brief presentations by the SEBA committees and a period for questions and answers.

OGC Supervisory Training on Employee Relations: Performance vs. Conduct
9:00 AM (ET)
Location: Lecture Room E, Building 101
Speaker Name/Affiliation: John Guenther/Laura Carroll
Description: The Department of Commerce, Office of General Council, will be coming to NIST to provide training for Supervisors. They will provide three sessions in conjunction with NIST’s Employee and Labor Relations Team. This three-hour training will prepare you, as a supervisor, to address issues of performance and conduct (and to tell the difference between the two). Participants will learn strategies for resolving employee problems early and informally but will also receive instruction on the more formal processes used to address repeated or more serious issues, including detailed instruction regarding employee and management rights and responsibilities and the procedures of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The training will also include a component on managers’ responsibilities—and the resources available to them—when they receive employee grievances and complaints of discrimination. Attendance tracked through CLC and will count for your mandatory supervisory training requirements!
