  • EPMS Basic Training: Employee Relations staff can present a 30-45 minute EPMS basic refresher training in person or via MS Teams.  This training is designed for those who supervise staff who receive an EPMS.  The ideal time to present this course is within 90 days of the universal review date because it provides helpful tips and information about completing and submitting the EPMS forms.  This training is not a substitute for any LEAD coursework about EPMS, and as indicated, covers more general topics about completing the form itself rather than the higher-level concepts of the EPMS process.
