OPM's Mission and Strategic Goals

Four words—Lead, Protect, Serve, and Safeguard—describe how OPM carries out its responsibilities and provide the framework for its mission.

OPM's Mission

To support the Federal government's ability to have the best workforce possible to do the best job possible—

• OPM LEADS Federal agencies in shaping human resources management systems to effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a high quality and diverse workforce;
  
  
• OPM PROTECTS national values embodied in law, including merit principles and veterans' preference;
  
  
• OPM SERVES employing agencies, Federal employees, retirees, their families, and the public through technical assistance, employment information, pay administration, and benefits delivery; and
  
  
• OPM SAFEGUARDS the assets held in trust for participants in earned benefit programs.
