Endorsements

• A Postal Service employee may not use her Postal Service position, title, or authority to endorse any product, service, or enterprise.
• For example, you cannot provide a testimonial to a vendor with your opinion about the quality of the vendor’s products.
• Unauthorized endorsements violate the ethics regulations, and can damage our business relationships.

Obtaining the PMG’s authorization for an endorsement keeps you on the right side of the law.

And that’s always smart business.

Encouraging creativity

Repetitive approaches, plans and documents can grow stale and uninspiring — potentially leading to mistakes or easily overlooked details

• Challenge staff to make incremental improvements and changes to existing formats —especially if updated best practices can be implemented.
• Use new systems, templates and processes to streamline and simplify complex presentations.

Encouraging a clear, succinct presentation of complex information requires understanding and a creative approach to refreshed data. Simplifying processes leaves time for more complex discussions afterwards.

And that’s smart business!
