The Trump administration has added a new requirement to its performance reviews this year that requires workers in the Department of Health and Human Services to produce evidence that they “clearly and demonstrably support implementation” of President Donald Trump'sagenda, according to a new report.

HuffPost reported on Monday that "tens of thousands" of HHS employees have received notice that the new requirements will be on their end-of-year reviews. The new metric, dubbed “Faithful Support of Administration of the Law and the President’s Policies,” is one of four new "critical elements" added to their performance reviews, according to the report.
HuffPost said that an HHS employee shared a screenshot of the new policy with the outlet.

So basically, we swear we’re going to follow Trump’s policies, which is ridiculous,” the HHS employee, who was granted anonymity, told the outlet.

“This is the most critical element for reviewing the job performance of someone who serves under the elected President,” the new language reads in part.

“Faithful administration of one’s role in the Executive Branch requires commitment to the principles of the Founding, including equality under the law and democratic self-government,” it adds. “All Senior Professionals must clearly and demonstrably support implementation of the President’s policy priorities through specific results that align with and advance the President’s specific policy agenda.”
