Abstract:

The report examines the significant actions taken by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in providing leadership to some of the Governments human resource management programs. Specifically, it reviews selected employee benefits which can help civilian Federal workers balance their work responsibilities and personal needs. Our analysis also addresses the role and responsibilities of Federal agencies in implementing these programs. Finally, the report examines how the Federal Government can improve its status as a model employer in the work and family benefits area.
