The Office of Personnel Management has decided to drop an electronic records project meant to help facilitate transfer of federal employees to another agency and rehiring of former personnel after retirement, Government Executive reported Wednesday.
A recent update from OPM says the development of Employee Digital Record is “not an active project and that the agency’s “priorities have shifted from” the initiative.
OPM said “foundational activities” that back the Human Capital Information Model and Federal Integrated Business Framework” could help advance EDR development should the agency decide to revive the project.
The EDR project was OPM’s priority goal and was part of the President’s Management Agenda, according to the report.
