Our People & Organization
Our focus has never been sharper.

Our people are our most important tool in facing any challenge, and we forget that at our peril. They are not merely a part of the equation, like capital or technology. They ARE the equation."
John Berry, Director

Building a highly effective 21st century workforce to serve the American people is the challenge we’re built for. Anticipating change. Identifying and embracing excellence. Serving the needs of every Federal human resources practitioner, and every Federal worker.

We are led in these efforts by distinguished men and women whose vast and varied expertise; proven leadership in public, private, and non-profit sectors; and wise counsel put OPM at the highest pinnacle of creativity, innovation, and success.
