What's Next in Federal Employment Law?

Now that all executive agencies are required to transition to the new standardized governmentwide performance appraisal cycle, your agency’s policies and procedures must be revised. In this interactive webinar, federal HR expert Barbara Haga will guide you in implementing a performance appraisal system based on the recent OPM guidance by the 2026 agencywide deadline.

She’ll take you through the nuts and bolts of the appraisal system guidance and its new requirements related to expediting performance improvement plans, expediting removal of poor performers, and ensuring that performance appraisals are in line with the agency’s mission while rewarding high performers.

Along with learning about new management training requirements designed to maintain a focus on accountability, you will leave with best practices to properly:

• Determine when (and for how long) a performance improvement plan should be in place
• Identify when it is appropriate to provide a meaningful bonus or award for a high performer
• Connect the importance of the agency’s mission with the performance of the employee
• Correctly address excessive performance review ratings
• Identify when and how “pass-fail” performance systems may be used
• And more!

Following her presentation, Ms. Haga will answer participants’ questions so you can get her guidance on your specific concerns.
