4.5.2: Title 5 Personnel Requirements

Assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of Title 5 personnel requirements.

Other Information:

Comprehensive assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of Title 5 personnel requirements. Related to the first recommendation, we believe that the current personnel management structure outlined in Title 5 of the U.S. Code should be substantially restructured to better align with the realities of managing federal personnel in the contemporary labor market. For many years, OPM has led the effort to guide agencies on effective means of managing their personnel resources within the existing statutory framework of Title 5, but, given the rapidly changing workforce environment, we believe that it is the appropriate time for OPM, along with the President and Congress, to identify and revise those portions of Title 5 not fully compatible with the needs of high performing human resource management systems.
