[quote=Anonymous]The problem is federal management does not take the time to provide adequate training and job aids to employees. The response is "I don't have time to provide my employees with the tools and training required." Training is left to outside contractors who provide 30,000 foot overview training. Little to no effort is given to bridge the gap between contractor provided training and OJT. Employees work in silos and are forbidden to communicate across process partner boundaries. These behaviors result in management taking over moderately difficult work their employees have insufficient tools, training and authority to work across silos to complete. The other non-spoken truth is if employees have the tools, training and across silo authority the head count could be reduced, therefore not as many management positions needed. This is not a guess or estimate, but actual witness testimony. Before I was disabled, I had a long career as an organization reengineering consultant. I have used my skills to improve my work processes but have been advised to limit these activities for the reasons stated above. Yes there are poor performers. But there are many proactive choices for management could take to make their lives easier. [/quote]
