USPS to Modify NSP Modules
The Postal Service has posted more than 900 supervisor vacancies. It is anticipated the vacancies largely will be filled by bargaining-unit employees seeking promotion. In response to these promotions and peak season approaching, the agency will modify the New Supervisor Program (NSP) modules that are provided over a three-week period.
Several modules have been deemed not critical and will be provided after peak season has ended. The following modules will be provided virtually to newly promoted supervisors:
- Communicating Effectively
- Transitioning to Supervisor
- Managing Performance
- Time and Attendance
- Labor Relations
- Managing a Culture of Safety
- Prioritizing Tasks
- Developing Your Team
- Resolving Conflict
- Ethics
- EEO and Reasonable Accommodations
The Postal Service also is considering revising the overall NSP program in 2022 and intends to involve NAPS. In prior years, NAPS provided subject matter experts to help with the program.
