  Great post! While government agencies are increasing their use of social media, I think it’s important they maintain phone and in-person options too for older constituents, and even younger ones, that prefer to engage via traditional channels.

    I think this post not only brings awareness to social media usage in government, but also what kind of social media platform you’re trying to use which will likely differ depending on the agency.

  Digital forms are a win for employees and constituents. When I had a home inspection the inspector was able to take his notes on a tablet allowing him to send me the report within 24 hours. I’m sure it also allowed him to do more inspections per day since he didn’t need to re-enter paper notes into a computer.

All of these things are so important. I worked remotely for a month or two and i was absolutely miserable . I got the work done, but I had minimal interaction with my team members. humans need to interact with others to thrive! A little recognition and communication would’ve made a world of difference. Thanks for this post!

  I wholeheartedly agree with using “I” statements constantly. They sound so much less accusatory and show how it affects you personally.
  
  Also agreed that going over your boss’s head is never a good idea (except in the case of harassment, etc.). It’ll always come back to bite you when your manager thinks you don’t trust or respect them.
  
  These are some really helpful tips. Thanks!

    What do you do if don’t trust them or respect them from back experiences? Is it okay to go over their heads then?
