Supporters of Trump\u2019s plans have pointed to high Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey scores as evidence that the workforce was supportive of the new direction, whereas opponents note that tanking scores at specific agencies, poor labor relations and highly skilled federal employees leaving the government indicate a largely negative reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most part, those efforts have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2021\/01\/22\/biden-orders-federal-employee-protections-minimum-wage-guarantees\/\" target=_blank>dismantled in the early days of Biden\u2019s presidency<\/a> by rescinding Trump\u2019s anti-union orders, eliminating Schedule F, protecting the independence of federal scientists and removing restrictions on federal diversity training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReversing four years of efforts to undermine the role of the federal government in addressing our country\u2019s challenges won\u2019t happen overnight. Rebuilding the federal workforce and recruiting more people to join us in service will require intensive effort. It will take time, and it will take all of us,\u201d said Coleman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy commitment to you is that I will work tirelessly every day alongside you to deliver on the president\u2019s promise to protect and empower you and rebuild your teams and agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coleman also promised that the Biden administration would not treat the federal workforce as a bureaucratic monolith:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe often default to discussing government in terms of what an agency does, or about the workforce as one unit, as though our government is a faceless monolith. And that makes sense in some instances. After all, governing is values in action and those values are carried out by the government. But government and the workforce are composed of individual people \u2014 those of you listening today \u2014 doing the work of the people, and for the people. So today, when I talk about the workforce, I encourage you to hear me talking in terms of individual people \u2014 you, your coworkers and your teams. And know that I am here because the president has made you a priority. He sees you, believes in you and trusts you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though Biden\u2019s management plan has yet to be released, his officials\u2019 discussion of the new administration\u2019s policy approach indicates that Biden and Trump have taken two directly opposing approaches to accomplish the same goal: improving the quality and effectiveness of government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration approached the federal workforce as a bloated institution whose bureaucratic rules protected poor performers and neglected the highest-quality employees. His plans aimed to trim the fat of those rules and practices to allow the federal government to operate with the efficiency of the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, the Biden approach appears to place the highest value on the expertise of the whole federal workforce and to protect those experts from as much political influence and upheaval as possible. That policy also views federal unions as advocates for employees to fully pursue their work, rather than roadblocks who protect poor performers from discipline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden administration plans to establish a management strategy that rehabilitates a workforce that has been &#8216;damaged,
