Federal Deposit Insurance Company
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CASE STUDY
The Challenge
A-G worked with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) Department of Finance (DoF) to develop tools and materials that would help recruit high-level job candidates, guide the development of staff, and ultimately lead to job satisfaction and retention. A-G assisted DoF with describing tangible learning and development paths for employees, to ensure rich and rewarding careers for them throughout their tenure at FDIC, while establishing high–quality staff for the DoF.
Services
A-G produced a roadmap to be used by the DoF leadership as a guide for making a multitude of workforce decisions, from considering what type of staff to hire to planning and executing staff development programs. This guide stimulated discussions between management and staff regarding training choices and rotational assignments. The document also assisted management in communicating expectations to staff, helping them grow personally and professionally.
Impact
The work that A-G accomplished had a positive impact on FDIC’s mission by:
- Helping employees gain clear expectations for their jobs and career paths, which in turn made them feel more clearly tied to the larger picture of the FDIC mission.
- Providing supervisors/mentors an easy-to-use tool to manage their employees’ learning and development activities.
- Providing a tool for managers to assess the workforce needs across DoF, which met the Department’s operational and strategic goals and objectives.
