   Retrenchment And Redirection At The

   Office Of Personnel Management




   In response to the Administration's planned
   retrenchment and redirection, the Office of
   Personnel Management (OPM) in 1981
   chose to end some programs and to provide
   less assistance to Federal agencies. It also
   reordered its priorities and concentrated on
   functions such as overseeing and enforcing
   civil service rules and merit principles and
   administering insurance and retirement pro-
   grams.

   A 16-percent cut in OPM's 1982 salaries
   and expenses appropriation atecelerated the
   planned changes in services and staffing
   levels. The office restructured its organiza-
   tion, reduced most of its general oversight
   activities, and reassigned many of its per-
   sonnel. It also reduced staffing and spend-
   ing through attrition, a reduction-in-force,
   furlough, reimbursable detailing of em-
   ployees, and other belt-tightening mea-
   sures. Although the office administered
   these management actions properly, the
   actions disrupted office functions and were
   unsettling for its employees and for users of
   its services.
