Bill > HR5810

This bill establishes comprehensive mandatory training requirements for federal government supervisors to improve management practices and employee development. The legislation requires each federal agency to create training programs that help supervisors develop critical skills, including setting performance goals, conducting performance appraisals, mentoring employees, fostering respectful work environments, managing underperforming employees, and understanding employee rights and prohibited personnel practices. Supervisors must complete initial training within one year of appointment and then repeat the training at least every three years. The bill also mandates that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) develop guidance for assessing management competencies, requiring agencies to evaluate their supervisors' performance and overall management capacity. The training programs must be designed using adult learning principles and, when possible, be instructor-led. The OPM is tasked with creating regulations to implement these requirements within one year of the bill's enactment, with the new rules taking effect one year after enactment and applying to both newly appointed and existing supervisors. The goal is to enhance federal workplace management, improve employee engagement, and ensure supervisors have the skills necessary to effectively lead and support their teams.
