Revolutionizing Federal HR: Vought Spearheads Ambitious Consolidation of HR Systems Across Government
Russell Vought, the current Director of the Office of Management and Budget, has been at the center of several major federal management moves in recent days, especially around how the government manages its workforce and data.
Government Executive reports that Vought, working with Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor, has launched an ambitious plan to overhaul how federal human resources data are handled across the entire government. In a joint memo released this week, they outlined a project called Federal H R 2 point 0, a single, governmentwide core human capital management system targeted for full adoption by fiscal year twenty twenty eight. According to the memo, the goal is to replace dozens of duplicative and outdated systems with one modern commercial platform that will become the single system of record for federal personnel management.
The Office of Personnel Managements published memos site shows that on December tenth, Vought and Kupor formally directed all executive departments and agencies to prepare for this consolidation. Their memo instructs agencies to pause new human capital management technology purchases or modernization efforts unless they receive specific approval for critical, time sensitive needs. It also requires each major agency covered by the Chief Financial Officers Act to name points of contact for integrated project teams that will handle data migration, testing, and training as the new platform comes online.
FedScoop notes that the first wave of transitions to the new system will begin this fiscal year and will include large departments such as Agriculture, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Interior, Veterans Affairs, and Transportation, along with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of Personnel Management itself. Together, that initial group represents roughly nine hundred thousand full time employees. A second wave, planned for fiscal year twenty twenty seven, is expected to move another one point one million employees to the unified platform, with an example eight month transition schedule for agencies covering agreements, platform testing, data conversion, workforce training, and shutdown of legacy systems.
Government Executive adds that Vought and Kupor plan to establish a Federal H R 2 point 0 Advisory Board to guide this transformation and to help agencies resolve policy and operational questions that arise as they standardize data and processes. A performance work statement on the federal contracting site S A M dot gov describes a ten year single award contract to acquire and operate the new system, signaling that this is meant to be a long term foundation for federal workforce management.
For listeners, the key takeaway is that Russ Vought is using his role as budget director to drive a sweeping consolidation of human resources technology, aiming to cut costs, improve data quality, and give agency leaders better tools to manage performance, hiring, payroll, and benefits across the federal government.
