The Future of Pay-for-Performance in the Federal Government

Robbie worked for the Social Security Administration and Department of the Navy for over 13 years before dropping out of government… but he never really left. He began teaching seminars to Federal supervisors, managers, and union officials for a fledgling company called FPMI. In 1990 Robbie moved to Seattle, WA and began his own one-person training company – Government Personnel Services. He continues that enterprise today [see www.trainingfeds.com]. All of his clients are Federal agencies and the National Guard.
The perspectives in Robbie’s articles come "from the field" and from more than 30 years reflecting on why HR programs work… or don't. They stem from his experience in the areas of labor and employee relations and his attempts to make sense of Federal performance appraisal systems. When not teaching seminars, Robbie volunteers many hours as a Federal, municipal, and community mediator in the Seattle area.
