TONY JOHN, HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANT
OPM- HR Strategy Branch

Since joining OPM, Tony has worked on and led a variety of projects like workload analysis and job design, creating organizational performance management systems and individual performance plans for executives, and giving expert consulting on performance management and staffing issues. He specializes in delivering training on managing virtual workers. His proudest achievement was working with a small agency with a failing performance management system, overhauling it, having it pass OPM’s review process, and most importantly working with managers to implement it so that it was utilized effectively. Currently his favorite work is delivering specialized trainings to a federal agency made up entirely of virtual workers and empowering those employees and their managers to succeed.

He has an MS in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Missouri State University and a BA in Psychology from Brigham Young University with an emphasis in Social Psychology. The things that make him happiest in this world are his wife, his 3 year old son, Will, his 1½ year old daughter, Lauren, and the Boston Red Sox.
