PARTNERSHIP FOR PUBLIC SERVICE APPLAUDS OPM FOR ESTABLISHING A NEW SES OFFICE
WASHINGTON –Partnership for Public Service President and CEO Max Stier released the following statement commending the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for creating a centralized office in support of the Senior Executive Service (SES) program.
“Members of the SES are our nation’s leadership corps, and the investments we make in them are of vital importance. Our SES has been impeded by decentralized talent development and recruiting, a cumbersome and lengthy hiring process and inadequate training programs.
By creating an office designed to focus on these issues, OPM has taken an important step to reinvigorate the executive team that leads our government through presidential transitions and through a set of increasingly complex daily challenges. SES members are on the forefront of addressing the economic recession, two foreign wars, health care reform, national security and more, and they deserve all the support we can give them to get their job done.”
