The Office of Personnel Management has published new best practices for handling disciplinary actions prompted by discriminatory behavior or retaliation against whistleblowers.
The advice, compiled in a Sept. 30 report <http://www.opm.gov/publications/NoFearReport-Sep08.pdf> , is based on interviews with officials at agencies that held employees accountable in whistleblower and anti-discrimination cases in 2006, and received top leadership ratings on the 2006 Federal Human Capital Survey. OPM did not name the agencies consulted.
