OPM can provide tailored advice and implementation support for organizational and staffing changes associated with workforce restructuring. Support includes advising on planning reorganizations, reduction-in-force (RIF) mitigation, establishing future structures and transitioning current staff into those positions. OPM consultants can provide the framework, process, and tools to help place current employees into a revised organizational structure and help them continue to be productive and engaged.

OPM can also facilitate sessions with executive leadership to finalize placements and prepare supporting materials for reorganization communications, including organization charts. Our consultants can also develop reorganization packages and other business case documentation by working with servicing HR departments to understand their requirements.

Data-Driven Insights

OPM provides agencies with a structured, data-informed approach to workforce placement during reorganizations. By combining agency-provided information with OPM’s proven methodologies and reorganization expertise, we help leaders make fair, defensible, and mission-aligned decisions about how to position their workforce for future success.

Our approach supports agencies by:

• Understanding workforce capabilities: Reviewing available employee information such as competencies, experience, and performance to build a clear picture of organizational strengths.
• Aligning talent to mission needs: Using data-driven insights to match employees’ skills to evolving agency requirements and strategic priorities.
• Enabling confident decisions: Delivering guidance, tools, and documentation that help agencies implement placements transparently and effectively.

Manage Change, Engage Employees

The climate and practices developed during a reorganization can have long-lasting impacts on how you achieve your goals and mission. Undergoing dramatic change requires strong leadership support and consistent involvement. Employees need to understand the changing nature of their organization and the way their work will be restructured. To keep your organization performing at the highest possible level, we assist you in developing a comprehensive change management strategy.
