Archuleta Says She Resigned To Let OPM Employees Continue ‘Important Work’

“I believe it is best for me to step aside and allow new leadership to step in, enabling the agency to move beyond the current challenges and allowing the employees at OPM to continue their important work,” former Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta wrote in a blog post Saturday regarding her resignation Friday (see 1507100037). “While my team and I have accomplished much together, in particular, I’m proud of the work we have done to develop the REDI (Recruitment, Engagement, Diversity and Inclusion) initiative and our IT Strategic Plan,” Archuleta said. “These efforts have transformed our ability to serve our customer agencies and ensure that the Federal Government is able to attract, hire, engage, and develop a talented and diverse Federal workforce.”
