Employee engagement is the degree to which employees come to work each day willing and able to use their best efforts, ideas, and abilities to help the Postal Service provide the best possible service. Engaged employees believe in what they do, exert discretionary effort, adapt well to change, and proactively address new opportunities. High levels of engagement lead to positive organizational outcomes such as customer satisfaction, productivity, safety, and retention. Employees are most engaged when they have the right tools, information, training, and leadership to do their job. Engaged employees know how the work they do is aligned to the goals of the Postal Service, and they are enabled and motivated to achieve results. That’s why the VOE survey invites employees to give the Postal Service their opinions on topics such as communication, trust, diversity, respect, and leadership. Participation in the VOE is voluntary and entirely confidential. Responses go directly to an independent party who tabulates the results and reports them back to the Postal Service in summary form. To learn more about VOE, you can access the VOE website from the Human Resources web page on Blue at http://blue.usps.gov/ humanresources/home.shtml. There you can find the most recent survey results, tips for working with your results, articles on employee engagement, and more. If you are invited to participate in the VOE this quarter, take some time — on-the-clock — to let your voice be heard. — Testing and Assessment, Employee Resource Management, 1-23-14 4 Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates postal bulletin 22381 (1-23-14) Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates Manuals DMM Correction: Priority Mail Express Delivery Times In the article “DMM Revision: Domestic Competitive Products Pricing and Mailing Standards Changes,” in Postal Bulletin 22378 (12-12-13, page 4), the 12:00 P.M. delivery time option for Priority Mail Express™ Next Day and Second Day Delivery was discontinued. Effective February 9, 2014, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), to retain the 12:00 P.M. delivery time option for Priority Mail Express™ Next Day and Second Day Delivery. Priority Mail Express items will now be available for delivery at 12:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M. based on the origin and destination ZIP Codes™.

Such flats generally have to meet physical standards for flatsmachinability such as deflection, flexibility, and uniform thickness standards. While the USPS encourages mailers to barcode all flats, nonbarcoded flats will be required to be included in FSS sortation as long as they meet all other eligibility standards. Additionally, we are revising DMM 343 to clarify that nonautomation Standard Mail® flats not eligible for carrier route or 5-digit prices and correctly placed in FSS scheme bundles are eligible for 3-digit prices. New DMM 343.5.4c states this, but we are revising item 343.5.6 to more clearly agree with 343.5.4c. Mailers should include nonbarcoded flats in FSS preparation as of January 26, 2014.

Trays prepared for a 5-digit scheme destination that contain pieces for only one of the schemed 5-digit ZIP Codes are considered 5-digit scheme sorted. When standards require 5-digit/scheme sorting, mailers must prepare all possible 5-digit scheme trays, then prepare all possible 5-digit trays. Effective March 3, 2014, the Postal Service™ will revise the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 235, 245, and 707 to refer to the use of Labeling List L012 as the source for 5-digit ZIP Code™ scheme combinations when preparing automation letters. Labeling List 012 was created in June 2012 as a parallel source of information formerly found in the City State Product. Letters were sent to City State Product subscribers in June 2012 and again in January 2013 to notify and remind them of the pending change. This change standardizes the use of Labeling Lists as the general source for customers obtaining Labeling List information. This use of L012 is effective immediately. * * * * * * 6.0 200 6.6 * * * * * * * Mail Preparation 1.0 General Definition of Terms * * * * * 240 * * * * * 1.4 * * 1.3 * * * [Revise item 1.4e to read as follows:] e.

The Postal Service provided advance notice of changes to introduce Premium Forwarding Service in the Federal Register Docket No. 2013-27728, Volume 78, Number 224 (Wednesday, November 20, 2013). The Postal Service anticipated a systems implementation date of July 2014; however, many of the new features of PFS Commercial can be made available sooner than July 2014. Consequently, the Postal Service will revise DMM standards using a phased-in approach. Currently, the Postal Service offers residential and commercial customers options for shipping mail from one delivery location or Post Office Box™ to another. For retail customers, Premium Forwarding Service® (PFS®) is available for up to one year and shipments are sent weekly. For commercial customers, Priority Mail Express™ (PME) Reshipment service [established with a USPS® Corporate Account (USPSCA™)] and Priority Mail® (PM) Reshipment service, established with a Merchandise Return Service (MRS) permit account, are available for a specific period of time and frequency.

Similar to last quarter’s shipment, the total quantity of Mover’s Guide copies sent to your facility may have been reduced. In an effort to reduce waste and account for more customers submitting change-of-address orders online, fewer Mover’s Guide copies are needed. There are several things you can do to conserve as well: Make sure customers are aware that USPS.com® is the most convenient, safe, and secure way for customers to submit a change-of-address order. Encourage carriers to take ICOA message cards on their routes instead of Mover’s Guide copies. Give Mover’s Guide copies out to moving customers only. Important Reminders Copies of Mover’s Guide must be kept behind the counter ONLY, not in inner or outer lobbies or on clerk counters.

Pay close attention to any fees added to the cost of the item(s) purchased to ensure that no inappropriate fees are assessed. Some foreign merchants offer (as a service to their customers) “Dynamic Currency Conversion” (DCC) service. Employees should avoid DCC. DCC is a point-of-sale conversion that dynamically converts the charge from foreign currency to U.S. dollars. Although this conversion may seem like a good deal, typically the conversion is less costeffective and unregulated. Employees should make the purchase in the foreign currency and allow the conversion to be made through Visa. This approach will allow a regulated fee to be assessed that is in compliance with the GSA SmartPay master contract. — Corporate Accounting, Controller, 1-23-14 2014 Bank Secrecy Act Mandatory Training is Available The FY2014 Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) training, “A Matter of Perception” course number: 10022342, is now available on LMS.

From February 1, 2014, through April 30, 2014, installations are required to post a copy of the OSHA Form 300A for CY 2013 in a conspicuous place at every establishment where employees work or report to work. When reviewing the OSHA 300 Log, installation heads must pay close attention to column F. Column F includes descriptions of the injury or illness, the parts of the body affected (including which side of the body), and the object or substance that directly injured or made the person ill. For example: “Second degree burns on right forearm from acetylene torch.” Installation heads must also pay close attention to columns K and L. If an injury is identified as “days away from work” in column K or “on the job transfer or restriction” in column L, installation heads must ensure that the number of days entered is accurate. For every entry on the OSHA 300 Log, the installation head must ensure that there is a corresponding Accident Report Form 1769/301 in the Employee Health and Safety application, which populates the OSHA 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report. The left side of OSHA Form 300A contains sets of information data points, with a letter (such as the letter “K”) corresponding to each data point. The data points come from the OSHA 300 Log summary columns with the same letter. The right side of the OSHA Form 300A is self-explanatory except for the North American Industrial Classification code. The code for Vehicle Maintenance Facilities is 811111; the code for all other Postal Service establishments is 491110. Before posting and signing the OSHA Form 300A, the installation or establishment heads are required to review the OSHA 300 Log and the OSHA 300A Summary Reports. When they sign the OSHA Form 300A, they are affirming that they have reviewed both OSHA forms for accuracy and completeness (whether they use the manual or automated versions of the forms). — Safety and Health, Employee Resource Management, 1-23-14 Organization Information postal bulletin 22381 (1-23-14) 23 Stamp Services Stamp Announcement 14-3: Love: Cut Paper Heart Stamp Initial Supply to Post Offices SDOs and SDCs will make a subsequent automatic distribution to Post Offices™ of a quantity to cover approximately 30 days of sales.

How to Order the First-Day-of-Issue Postmark © 2013 USPS On January 28, 2014, in Independence, Missouri, the U.S. Postal Service® will issue The Star-Spangled Banner First-Class Mail® stamp (Forever® priced at 49 cents), in one design in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) booklet of 20 stamps (Item 689000), produced by security printer Ashton Potter and a coil of 100 (Item 789900), produced by security printers Ashton Potter and CCL Label, Inc. The stamp will go on sale nationwide January 28, 2014. This stamp commemorates the 200th anniversary of The Star-Spangled Banner with a photograph of the flag that flies over Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore. This flag is a replica of the one that inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner” after realizing Fort McHenry had withstood the British attack of September 13–14, 1814. The picture of the flag was taken against a backdrop of fireworks during an annual celebration of Defenders’ Day. Photographer Gary Clark said it was a challenge to get the fireworks and the flag in the same shot and that “the wind picked up quite a bit that night.” Art director Phil Jordan designed the stamp.
