Civility
The legislative branch employs over 30,000 employees of varied experiences and backgrounds. This training module reviews the core concept of workplace civility, its related concepts, and its institutional benefits; examines specific civil behaviors and conflict management practices in multiple workplace environments; and proposes strategies to create, foster, and maintain civility in the legislative workplace. (11:30 am to 12:30 pm)
Resilience
The legislative branch is a dynamic and unique work environment unlike any other. When faced with adversity or stressful events, Hill employees often have to bounce back quickly and return to work with minimal disruption. This is where our resilience becomes important. This training module identifies what resilience is, describes our different barriers to resilience, explains why resilience is important in the legislative workplace, and proposes strategies to improve the resilience of legislative branch employees. (1:00 pm to 2:00 pm)
Note: Registration is required for this event. This training is for current employees of the legislative branch of the federal government. Registrants who do not use their .gov email address may have their registration declined.
