Unusual and Threatening Behavior in the Federal Workplace:
When and How to Take Action
Marilyn Mattingly, Former Labor and Employee Relations Specialist with the Department of the Navy

Outside-the-norm behavior is not acceptable in the federal workplace, but it may not be actionable either. Rely on renowned federal trainer Marilyn Mattingly to show you the difference — and how to respond when it’s appropriate.

Marilyn Mattingly’s expert insights on handling employees’ irregular behavior!

In just 90 minutes, you learn the specifics on what constitutes actionable irregular and threatening behavior, the ins and outs of fitness-for-duty exams, and the role of medical and disability issues. Then, Ms. Mattingly draws on MSPB, EEOC and court case law to provide practical guidance on what you should do when an employee exhibits strange behavior, giving you a solid foundation to properly determine:

              •    Whether or not to take action on threatening behavior in specific situations

              •    When to request medical information and what type of information is
                   appropriate to request

              •    Whether the employee is physically or mentally capable of continuing to
                   perform his or her duties

              •    Whether the individual acting inappropriately is a "qualified individual
                   with a disability"

              •    When situations require the consideration of a reasonable accommodation

              •    When to offer or order a fitness-for-duty exam

              •    And more!

And, because the audio conference is live training, you’ll not only hear Ms. Mattingly’s expert insights, you’ll also have opportunities to get her firsthand answers to your specific questions.
