performance management

This January 29 webinar is designed for all those associated with setting up and running a freshman office in the House or Senate. The program will include congressional staff hiring guidance CMF has collected during its 43 years of service to the Congress, and will feature experts on the value and strategies of hiring a diverse staff. Watch a recording of the webinar here.

CMF, in conjunction with the House Chiefs of Staff Association, invites senior congressional managers to join us on Wednesday, October 21 for a webinar on: "Sustainable Performance Management: How to Increase Efficiency and Productivity in Your Team."

CMF and College to Congress (C2C), in conjunction with the Modernization Staff Association (MSA), held the following webinar: "Successfully Managing Remote Interns," on Thursday, August 6 at 3pm Eastern. Watch the recording now!

Working remotely does not have to mean working alone. Wherever you are at 3 pm (Eastern) on Friday afternoon, relax in front of the laptop and join your colleagues, the Congressional Management Foundation, and some other friends of Hill staffers for a casual, lightly-programmed virtual staff happy hour. This week's topic of conversation: Managing a Congressional Office Remotely During a Crisis.

Last week, CMF and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) held a webinar for congressional staff on the topic of workplace flexibility ("workflex") and discussed how it IS possible to have these types of arrangements in Congress. Not to worry if you missed the webinar — we recorded it and also offer you a downloadable guide ("The Workflex Toolkit for Congress") that walks you through the various types of workflex (hint: it's more than telecommuting), addresses common concerns, and provides assessments and templates for you to implement workflex in your office.
