Top Management Challenges

Top Management Challenges

The Inspector General is required by the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000 to identify and report annually the top management challenges facing their agency. We have classified the challenges into two key types of issues facing the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) – environmental challenges, which are either inherent to the program or function, or result mainly from factors external to OPM and may be long-term or even permanent; and internal challenges, which OPM has more control over and once fully addressed, will likely be removed as a management challenge.
