The remit of the Office of Personnel Management (US HRD) will be divided between two other federal agencies: talks related to administrative recruitment and training support will be merged into the General Services Administration, while strategic policy concerning staffing and planning will be entrusted to the Office of Management and Budget, which reports to the White House.

According to recent projections, in ten years' time, 1% of public servants will be under 40 years of age, while 81% will be over 50. This is an alarming situation for the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Civil Service, which commissioned a detailed HR audit. The goal is to identify vacant positions in government departments and the age of active staff members by cross-referencing this information with the estimated change in staffing levels in the various departments. 

Certain categories of federal personnel (customs, military) had an early legal retirement age. The Federal Council has decided to align this with the retirement age of all other employees (64 for women and 65 for men). The new rules will apply to those hired since 1 May and a transitional regime has been introduced, including the payment of a bonus by the government as compensation.
