Implementing The President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Workforce Optimization Initiative

The presidential order establishes the "Department of Government Efficiency" initiative to streamline the federal workforce by reducing its size through efficiency improvements and attrition, with a hiring ratio of one new hire for every four departures, excluding public safety, immigration enforcement, and law enforcement roles. Agency heads are tasked with creating data-driven hiring plans and preparing for potential reductions in force, prioritizing non-essential functions and initiatives not mandated by law. The initiative aims to enhance accountability and productivity within the federal government while allowing for exemptions in cases of national security or public safety needs.
