This bill establishes mandatory training programs and competency assessments for all Federal Government supervisors, aiming to enhance their effectiveness across agencies. Each agency, in consultation with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), must develop a comprehensive management succession program and create individual development plans for supervisors. These plans will cover crucial areas such as developing and discussing performance goals, conducting appraisals, mentoring employees, fostering a respectful work environment, and effectively managing unacceptable performance. The training also includes instruction on prohibited personnel practices , employee rights, and procedures for enforcing those rights. A key component is a mentorship program where experienced supervisors guide new or underperforming colleagues. Training must adhere to adult learning principles and be instructor-based where feasible, with initial completion required within one year of appointment and recurring training every three years. OPM is tasked with prescribing regulations, monitoring agency compliance, and issuing guidance on supervisor competencies , which agencies will then use to assess supervisor performance and overall capacity.
