Today's show opens with some of the line from last night's farewell from President Biden. Talk about spreading lies, suffering from projection and out-and-out gaslighting. Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said it sounded like it was written by ChatGPT. Victor Davis Hanson also mocked the notion that Trump was bringing in an Oligarchy. As to the Hamas ceasefire and hostage release, Biden desperately wants to take credit. Unfortunately for him and current White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, everyone knows it was Trump's involvement that sealed the deal. Then we get into more confirmation hearings. I had to bring a few more back and forth comments between Pam Bondi and Sen. Adam “Lying Piece of” Schiff. We then look at Steve Bessent for Secretary of the Treasury and Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget. In a separate committee hearing on the House side, Rep. Clay Higgins made a point that teleworking doesn't work. While talking about the Social Security Administration, he shows the room he has been on hold for nearly 90 minutes. The non-profit founded by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, will play a record $300,000 fine for violating state campaign finance laws. Yet another example of the projection evident on the Left. Finally, we close with a commentary over the Left in the Legislative branch from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX). His observations into their hypocrisy and their duplicity help us end today's show. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

The pressure against remote work in the federal government is unwarranted. The OMB report shows federal agencies are exceeding in-office expectations, balancing telework with mission needs. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which describes how Congress's push against remote work misfired.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/congresss-push-against-remote-work-misfires/

As Inauguration Day approaches, federal employees in the D.C. area should plan to telework all this week, and into next week, if they're able to. The Office of Personnel Management says preparations for Inauguration Day next Monday will create traffic disruptions and road closures in the nation's capital. OPM is asking agencies to work in a maximum telework posture to try to ease at least some of that traffic. Federal employees who do have to go into the office should build in extra time for the expected delays. Employees will also get a federal holiday on Monday, January 20th, to observe both Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Learn more about your ad choices.

Telework programs in the federal government should benefit mission, operations and work-life balance at agencies, according to the Government Accountability Office. Yet some agencies are not fully aligned with key practices to ensure successful telework implementation, the watchdog found in a new report. The Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency all told the GAO that they have not yet fully evaluated the effects of telework on agency performance, it explains in the report. Similarly, the Department of Veterans Affairs cannot do so for the Veterans Benefits Administration because it does not have a system in place that provides telework agreement information in an accessible manner. U.S. Naval Forces Central Command is steaming ahead with experimental efforts to launch unmanned aerial vehicles from uncrewed surface vessels. The latest Digital Talon exercise, conducted earlier this month in the Middle East region, included a variety of robotic capabilities that could play a significant role in future conflicts. In a release, NAVCENT said: “Digital Talon 3.0 … tested the electronic and mechanical effectiveness of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), the capabilities of over-the-horizon communications between unmanned systems, and testing aerial autonomous launch and recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) off a unmanned surface vessel (USV).” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Mika Cross is a Workplace Transformation Strategist at Strategy@Work. She discusses her military career and years federal government agency experience including talent management, workplace flexibility, and wellness. Mika shares her approach to distributed teams, performance management, and work-life balance. She describes how flexible private sector workforce management policies, informed by public sector successes, foster engagement, retain talent, and meet the diverse needs of the modern, distributed workforce. Mika describes how remote work options allow us to reimagine veterans' and civilians' working lives and communities.     TAKEAWAYS   [02:39] MIka works wants to be a journalist then has to take a break in her studies.   [03:17] A mentor suggests military service so Mika can complete her education and serve nobly.   [04:26] Mika has some job options from Uncle Sam after finishing top three in her officer training class.   [05:35] Mika is attracted by inclusive workplaces that support the whole soldier and family.   [06:32] Working for a rapidly deployable unit, Mika must support distributed teams holistically.   [07:33] The military is facing shortages, how can retention be improved using flexibility?   [09:15] How to share knowledge across agencies while dealing with confidential information.   [10:31] What does employee experience look like in the federal government?   [11:49] The power of communication to enable effective policy implementation.   [13:41] Managers want discretion and information to make the right decisions for their teams.   [16:11] With deep knowledge of federal regulations, Mika takes an integrated systems approach.   [17:44] What are the blocks to effective equal opportunity?   [18:37] Mika finds some workplace flexibility policy options blocked by supervisors.   [19:50] Mindsets can prevent advancements or enable cultural transformation.   [21:26] How to measure the impact of policies including cost savings.   [23:04] Taking a multi-pronged approach with broad buy in and incentivized training.   [24:25] Celebrating wins, measuring engagement, and saving on leases.   [25:34] The benefits of getting multiple share stakeholders on board.   [26:36] The USDA gets recognition and rewards as one of America's best workplaces.   [27:25] Achieving savings of $8 million per year through telecommuting.   [31:00] Negotiating work policies with 92 unions!   [36:34] Enabling veterans' smooth transitions into civilian jobs requires many types of flexibility.   [38:20] Mika explores upskilling, reskilling and benefits.   [40:14] Veterans often returning to Hometown USA find few jobs after years of rural brain drain.   [41:20] Three ways to provide thriving healthy supportive workplaces to veterans.   [42:43] Military spouses need remote work options as they support transitioning veterans.   [45:01] The wild opportunity to reimagine the nation, rebuilding Hometown USA.   [46:58] The importance of soft skills -- or success skills as Mike calls them.   [48:18] Mika believes in career readiness skills so workers learn how to work.   [49:14] Moving to a skills-based talent economy.   [50:27] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: If you don't include flexibility in your work policies and turnover increases, recognize the burden on employees who stay and the loss of skills and organizational knowledge. Instead, extend a little trust and autonomy first, hold people accountable second, and teach flexible open mindsets.     RESOURCES   Mika Cross on LinkedIn Mika's website MikaCross.com     QUOTES   “I ended up seeing the power of inclusive workplaces, supportive workplaces, policies, procedures and programs that supported the whole soldier in order to get the best out of our troops, especially when they are deploying into conflict and being separated from their families and having to support the other half of that equation, which is their spouse, their families, their children, their loved ones.”   “It really helped me to inform, regardless of what my work was or what projects I was working on, how are people interpreting even the wording in these policies to be able to implement them successfully the way we intended.”   “The Secretary of Agriculture had included telework work life and wellness as a component of his vision for cultural transformation and had monthly metrics to which he reviewed and held his sub cabinet committee accountable for each and every month.”   “If you have jobs that are suitable to be done in a remote capacity, could you be leveraging those remote jobs for the purpose of attracting and hiring an amazing skillset of talent from either military spouses or transitioning veterans?”   “We're looking at wild opportunity for our nation to rebuild and put emphasis in areas of the country that sort of have been left behind in the past.”   “When you consider older workers staying longer, trying to continue working, this can really create opportunity not just for employers, but for those communities where they live. If they're able to continue contributing their tax base, to the infrastructure, and re-imagining what our Hometown USAs can look like all around the country.”   “What we used to call soft skills; I like to call them success skills—skills that any worker needs in any industry and occupation. These are what can set you apart from someone else. Things like critical thinking, autonomous work ethic, conflict resolution skills, interpersonal, and intergenerational skills.”

A federal union is calling for temporary work-from-home options for staff at the Environmental Protection Agency. The push from the American Federation of Government Employees comes after reports of Legionella outbreaks at several EPA facilities across the country. The affected EPA buildings are located in D.C., Boston, Houston and Chicago. The union called it “completely unacceptable” to continue letting EPA employees into the buildings in those areas. Using situational telework would let EPA staff continue their work safely, AFGE said, until the Legionella outbreak is under control. Learn more about your ad choices.
