Obama Plans Could Shake Up Federal Workforce

“Obama intends to make government more efficient by sending “SWAT teams” from the White House into major agencies to improve programs and eliminate waste and inefficiency. He has promised to install a White House chief performance officer to work with federal agencies to set tough performance targets and hold managers accountable. He promises to save up to $40 billion a year by reducing government contracting, especially no-bid contracts.”
