In what it called a meeting to further the ongoing effort to
construct a contemporary HR system that protects merit
principles, the Office of Personnel Management met with
Department of Homeland Security stakeholders to brief them
on proposed regulations to overhaul personnel practices at
that department.
OPM said a special meeting will be conducted soon for veterans
who may be affected by the new regulations. Additional
discussions with participants in the meeting will take place
soon.
Participants in the meeting included Steve Kelman of Harvard’s
John F. Kennedy School of Government, Neil McPhie of the
Merit Systems Protection Board, Susan Meisinger, President of
the Society for Human Resources Management, John Palguta of
the Partnership for Public Service, and over 35 attendees from
a wide array of organizations and institutions, including the
American Federation of Government Employees, the Fraternal
Order of Police, the International Association of Fire Fighters,
the National Federation of Federal Employees, American
University, George Mason University, the Federal Labor
Relations Authority, the Federal Managers Association and the
Senior Executives Association, said OPM.
