OPM Marks 60 Days of Historic Action and Reform (March 25, 2025)
Snippet of Article: "...“Weʼve delivered bold action in record time—reining in bureaucracy, restoring
accountability, and setting the tone for a new era of efficiency in
government,” Acting Director Chuck Ezell said. “And weʼre just getting started.”
Key milestones from OPMʼs first 60 days include:
• Executed the government-wide Deferred Resignation Program, resulting
in approximately 75,000 resignations and retirements in just two weeks,
saving taxpayers millions.
• Led the government-wide return to in-person work initiative, including
comprehensive updates to every agencyʼs telework policy.
• Helped oversee the restructuring of nearly every major federal agency,
aligning operations with the Trump Administrationʼs key priorities.
• Helped oversee a government-wide hiring freeze to control costs and
enhance accountability.
• Ended wasteful programs and policies promoting divisive DEI and gender
ideology across the federal government.
• Issued new performance plans for the Senior Executive Service (SES)
corps, and led a government-wide reorganization of the SES.
• Reinvigorated the Chief Human Capital Officers Council, now convening
multiple times per week to ensure government-wide alignment on key
administration priorities.
• Issued a record number of guidance documents (nearly 40) implementing
President Trumpʼs personnel policies...."
