The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) serves as the chief human resources agency and personnel policy manager for the Federal Government.

OPM leads workforce management for the federal government. Whether you’re a federal jobseeker, a current or retired federal employee, a human resources professional, or a member of the public, our work affects you. Our responsibilities cover three broad categories:

  • We set and enforce the background-check processes that determine individuals’ fitness to serve in the federal workforce.
  • We provide human resources policies, services, and oversight to federal agencies, so they can hire and manage their workforces effectively.
  • We develop and administer quality, cost-effective employee benefits programs, including the federal retiree pension program.
