1 articles · Updated · Federal News Network · Aug 12

Summary

  • A new GAO report assesses whether the Office of Personnel Management can still carry out its mission and support other agencies after substantial staff reductions.
  • OPM is under scrutiny because it has remained central to federal workforce policy over the past 18 months even as its own workforce has been cut.
  • The review focuses on what those staffing changes could mean for OPM’s operational capacity, putting a spotlight on risks to the government’s personnel-management hub.
