Postal Service Employee Development Programs Need Better Management

Gao ID: GGD-81-107 September 30, 1981

GAO reviewed programs providing training or developmental experience to Postal Service employees. The objective of the review was to determine if management controls over these programs should be strengthened.

GAO found that program instructions were not always followed and some programmatic changes are needed. Weaknesses included: (1) some Postal Career Executive Service candidates received no developmental training and experiences; (2) candidate lists for officer-in-charge assignments were not properly maintained or used; (3) employee performance evaluations were not always prepared; and (4) some significant program costs were not accumulated.
