How Federal Supervisors Can Protect Themselves in Today’s Political Environment
In July, FEDS Protection President & Founder Tony Vergnetti was fortunate enough to join host Alex Tremble on The Alex Tremble Show to discuss the professional exposures of federal supervisors and how Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) can help protect against these liabilities. Mr. Vergnetti was joined in the episode, “How Federal Supervisors Can Protect Themselves in Today’s Political Environment,” by Brenda Wilson, FEDS Protection Director of Marketing, Strategy, and Business Development.
Tony, Brenda, and Alex focused their conversation on effective leaders in the federal government and the myriad challenges they face. In today’s environment, even the best federal managers are likely to face complaints and allegations from employees or colleagues at some point in their careers. However, many federal managers are unaware of their everyday management exposures or hesitant to purchase PLI because they cannot picture themselves needing to invoke coverage. Tony and Brenda explained why this hesitancy is often based on misconceptions about federal employee liability, and used specific examples of how PLI has benefitted FEDS members in the past to show the necessity of PLI for federal managers.
