AND COMPENSATION DIVISION JANUARY 8, 1981 B-201543 Th-e Honorable Arlen Erdahi House of Representatives Dear Mr. Erdahl: 114107 Subject: [Federal Agencies' Stress Management Training Programs(FPCD-81-32) .This report, presenting the results of our evaluation of selected Federal agencies' stress management training pro- grams,1! responds to your September 5, 1980, request and later discussions with your office. This reportl relates specifi- cally to internal training on the subject 6of stress manage- ment. Our objective was to report to you on how agencies are providing this training for their employees. In addi- tion to legislative authority and Federal guidelines, we re- viewed program cost, course content and objectives, employee participation, and the role of the Office of Personnel Man- agement (OPM). We discussed fiscal years 1979-80 stress management training programs ,with officials in the headquarters of the Department of Agriculture, the Federal Aviation A4inistra- tion, the National Institutes of Health, and OPM.;J The train- ing programs are a small, low-cost segment of the total training provided by three of these agencies. The Federal Aviation Administration did not provide any training in this area. Stress management training offered by the other agen- cies was provided under either their training or health serv- ices programs. For both of these programs, the head of the agency has legislative authority to provide the necessary services to promote the efficiency and health of his/her work force., AUTHORITY AND GUIDANCE Authority for Federal employees' training and health services programs is provided for primarily under two basic laws--the Government Employees Training Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-507) and health services program legislation 5 U.S.C. 7901 (Public Law 79-658).
