On April 11, FMA National President Craig Carter and National Office staff held a town hall discussion on management in the federal workforce. FMA is doing a deep dive on managers' views on issues related to whether they have the tools necessary to effectively manage.

Topics of discussion included training, discipline and understanding the process of dealing with poor performers, Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs), manager selection, the level of support managers get from their agencies and HR, and more. We welcome feedback from FMA members about their experiences, which will help FMA advise Congress and the Administration on management issues important to you.
