I am pleased to present our first Performance and Accountability Report. This is our second year of reporting under the Government Performance and Results Act and the first for combining performance reporting with accountability reporting. This Report provides a thorough and complete discussion of our program and financial accomplishments during fiscal year 2000. Equally important, it speaks to our vision for the future not just of our agency, but of the Federal workforce as well.
The Office of Personnel Management is the leader in developing strategic human resources policy for the Federal government and our ultimate objective is that the Federal workforce be citizen centered, results oriented, efficient and effective. The programs we administer support the Federal agencies in areas that include but are not limited to recruitment, performance management and development, executive leadership, labor-management relations, compensation, and employee benefits.
This Report describes our many accomplishments during fiscal year 2000 that strengthened the programs and systems we administer and demonstrate our progress toward achieving our Strategic Goals. We have worked hard to meet the strategic human capital challenges that confront the Federal government as an employer, and while much remains to be done, much progress has been made.
We recognize that the worker of the 21st century has new needs, and also that the American citizens of this new century have greater expectations of their Government. We are committed to addressing those needs and meeting those expectations.
Steven R. Cohen
Acting Director
U.S. Office of Personnel Management
