Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

A new memo from the human capital agency says federal agencies should change policies and require workers to be in the office full time by the end of the week.

Longtime federal workers say they have become pawns in a battle for political control, that their DEI work is misunderstood and they fear they're under surveillance.

President Trump has issued sweeping executive actions swiftly ending diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility programs within the federal government. Already, the work is underway.

The Office of Personnel Management has created a new email account meant to collect reports of suspected diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, one of a series of moves the Trump administration has taken to slash DEI efforts across the federal workforce.

The State Department has already begun to implement the president’s memo cancelling telework agreements as of March 1 and remote work arrangements July 1, with exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities.

According to the memo, OPM is requiring all federal agencies to notify their employees by Friday at 5 p.m. of their compliance with the executive order. Agencies are also mandated to update their telework policies with new language emphasizing in-person attendance.

VERIFY readers asked if workers were really told they would face “adverse consequences” if they did not help identify “disguised” diversity and inclusion roles.

Greg Hogan will serve as the new CIO for the personnel agency, following Melvin Brown II’s one-week stint in the role.

Employees of diversity, equity and inclusion programs are to be placed on administrative leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday. Agencies were told to make plans for layoffs.

There are exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities in the policy, which DOGE leaders have touted as a way to shrink the federal civilian workforce.
