The Office of Congressional Workplace Rights (OCWR) has developed a training module for covered legislative branch employees that explores the power of personal resilience when dealing with difficult situations. The training identifies what is meant by personal resilience, describes the barriers to resilience, explains why resilience is important in the workplace, and proposes strategies to improve resilience in individuals.
The Congressional Workplace Rights Poster
The Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) requires employing offices, including district and state offices, to display the rights, protections, and procedures provided by the CAA, as well as the contact information for the OCWR. This information is provided in the congressional workplace rights poster. In addition to describing the CAA protections, this notice describes the administrative procedures for resolving workplace claims under the CAA Reform Act.
The poster may be downloaded at ocwr.gov or contact the OCWR for a copy at (202) 724-9250. Hard copies are also available in the House (Longworth Room B-240) and Senate (Dirkson Room SD-B28) mailrooms
