Our mail includes often-asked questions that we'll be sharing with our readers in this recurring feature.
Q. |
How can agencies fulfill the regulatory requirement to "provide for communicating with employees and supervisors about the relevant parts of their award program(s)"? |
A. |
The regulations recognize that many means of communications are available to agencies to help employees understand their specific awards programs(s). Communications could include formal training, memos, brochures, one-on-one communication between supervisors and employees, or discussions during staff meetings. Agencies also can communicate awards program information through their Internet or intranet sites. One characteristic of a successful awards program is that it provides for communicating often to employees so that all employees covered by the program understand the criteria for awards. |
