Misuse of Time

• A Postal Service employee must use official time in an honest effort to perform postal duties.
• You may not use official time to perform work for an outside employer, even if such work would take a small amount of time
• You may not ask a subordinate employee to use official time to perform any activities other than postal work.

Giving the Postal Service an honest day’s work for a day’s pay contributes to our productivity and the bottom line.

And that’s smart business.

My Opinions Seem to Count

This element measures the sense of value that employees put on their work in the organization.

Employees want to feel valued. They want to know their input is important and they’re making a significant contribution and difference to the environment in which they work. This feeling creates a greater sense of inclusion among workers and reinforces their sense of self-worth.

Hear me.

And that’s smart business.
