Joyce Remarks at Oversight Hearing on U.S. Office of Personnel Management

The Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, plays a central role in most human resource decisions made within the Executive Branch. This is particularly true as it relates to the federal workforce. In 1979, Congress passed the Civil Service Reform Act, which disbanded the United States Civil Service Commission and reassigned most of its functions to three newly established agencies, including OPM. Over the last year, OPM has played a central role in implementing this Administration's workforce modernization initiatives. 

In addition, OPM has played a key role in using technology to revolutionize the way federal employees interact with the federal government. I have no doubt that many of my colleagues will have questions about policies implemented by OPM and how those decisions have impacted their constituents. I look forward to discussing OPM's work over the last year and their expectations for FY 2027.
