The offices of Personnel Management and Management and Budget will spend the next year studying the “competitiveness” of federal compensation with that of agencies’ private sector counterparts, according to a quarterly update to President Trump’s management agenda.
The report on progress on the Workforce for the 21st Century cross-agency priority goals included a new milestone, tasking OPM and OMB with obtaining “market information” and studying “the federal government’s competitive posture in total compensation for civilian federal employees, to include base pay, benefits, and other relevant total reward elements.”
