Daily printout: Feb. 5

Dr. Joshua Colin has been named the Postal Service’s chief performance officer, overseeing a newly created organization that will manage coordination and operational excellence across the processing, logistics and retail and delivery functions.

This new organization aims to drive performance and accountability, leveraging the significant investments made as the Postal Service moves into the fourth year of the Delivering for America 10-year strategic plan.

Greg White, operations integration and performance excellence executive director, and Michael Calabrese, acting integrated operations and planning director, will report to him.

He most recently was chief retail and delivery officer and began his Postal Service career in 1986.

He also previously served as delivery operations vice president; maintenance operations vice president; and the former Eastern Area’s vice president.

Postal Service employees can show their support for heart health awareness by sporting scarlet on National Wear Red Day, Friday, Feb. 7.

The event takes place each year on the first Friday of February, which is American Heart Month.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, even though it is largely preventable, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Nearly half of all Americans have at least one of the three top risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking.

USPS employees who wish to take part should adhere to the parameters in their facility’s dress code, or those found within the Employee and Labor Relations Manual, Subchapter 930, Work Clothes and Uniforms.

Employees can email the USPS Benefits and Wellness team with questions.
