Remote Employee Engagement Leadership (REEL) Toolkit

The Federal Managers Association recognizes the challenges federal leaders continue to face in establishing effective remote or hybrid teaming models to deliver on the promise of their agencies, and supports leaders by providing relevant and curated resources. Please utilize the resources below.

The Federal Managers Association has partnered with the Partnership for Public Service’s Excellence In Government (EIG) fellows leadership program to offer the Remote Employee Engagement Leadership (REEL) Toolkit.
