About Us

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) examines policy options, government-wide data trends, and employee survey findings that affect OPM's management of HR policy, specifically including diversity and inclusion throughout the Federal government.

To ensure that Federal departments and agencies recruit and retain talented individuals from all communities, ODI will develop comprehensive strategies, like those found in the private sector and successful agencies, to drive and integrate diversity and inclusion practices throughout the Federal government and to help build a diverse and inclusive workforce, respecting individual and organizational cultures, while complying with merit principles and applicable Federal laws.

ODI will assist departments and agencies to accomplish their varied missions as they develop a strategic focus on diversity and inclusion, allowing them to prepare for shifting workplace demographics, improved services to all populations and innovation for the future.
