“The Office of Personnel Management has been a long-standing advocate for personnel reform that provides employees with the benefits of contemporary performance and compensation practices.  We continue to believe that the provisions in the Homeland Security Act of 2002 are consistent with that objective and we oppose any efforts to revoke these authorities.”

Our mission is to ensure the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce. OPM supports U.S. agencies with personnel services and policy leadership including staffing tools, guidance on labor-management relations and programs to improve work force performance.
