- Description
- Training contract with the Partnership for Public Service (PPS), for the US Department of Education (ED), Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Program Legal Group (PLG). The training will be tailored strengths deployment inventory, effective communication, and emotional intelligence. The purpose of this trianing is to develop strong leaders, improve employee engagement and create a collaborative and innovative organizational culture, to coincide with the ongoing training and development being provided by PPS to ED staff participating in the Excellence in Government program (EIG). PPS is the only recognized not-for-profit organization with the stated mission of making the federal government more effective for the American people. PPS is uniquely positioned to provide continued support and guidance for the cultural transformation effort at OCR and ED. From 2010 to 2018 PPS, via a grant through the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation, worked to provide additional training and coaching to PLG in the areas of communication, emotional intelligence and change management to thousands of staff at ED. Through this work, PPS provided support during the presidential transition, developed career executives, provided executive coaching, and has trained hundreds of mid-level leaders through the EIG program, in which several PLG and OCR members have participated. Part one of the proposed training focuses on the the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) to help PLG employees better understand their work and communication styles, how such styles vary at work, and how they influence the manner in which employees interact with colleagues. For years, PPS has administrered the SDI to PLG and OCR staff to help them understand these concepts. In addition to simply administering the SDI, PPS is skilled at training employees about their SDI results. Thus, PPS can train the next group of PLG employees on how to utilize this tool, both by providing individual analysis and group assessments to help staff better understand their own and their team's working styles. Part two of the proposed training focuses on two main topics where PLG has current room for growth: communication and emotional intelligence. Here PPS can uniquely focus on the SDI as a measure of individual strengths and weave the SDI lessons into the latter part of the training session focusing on communication and emotional intelligence. Lastly, PPS operates a proprietary database and data analysis tools for the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings. OCR was ranked 337 out of 339 subcomponents in 2017. On average, agencies that have worked with PPS have improved overall satisfaction and commitment by approximately 6% annually. PPS can help PLG staff understand these rankings and work collaboratively with OCR staff to increase overall satisfaction with their work environment. Due to PPS' extensive and specific experience with OCR and PLG, they are is uniquely positioned as the sole vendor to provide the afore-mentioned training and coaching in the areas of communication, emotional intelligence and change management.
