Executive Order 14210: Implementing the President’s ‘‘Department of Government Efficiency’’ Workforce Optimization Initiative

The President’s Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative marks a significant shift in federal workforce management. With a hiring ratio of one new hire for every four departures, the plan aims to streamline government operations, eliminate waste, and focus hiring on critical needs such as public safety and law enforcement. Federal agencies must now develop data-driven hiring plans, prioritize essential functions, and prepare for large-scale reductions in force. This initiative could reshape the public sector, making efficiency a key driver of government employment.
