Presidential Executive Order – Strengthening Probationary Periods in the Federal Service

To ensure agencies make better use of probationary and trial periods, this Executive Order issues a new Civil Service Rule. Under Civil Service Rule XI, agencies will have to affirmatively determine that the continued employment of individuals serving probationary or trial periods would benefit the Federal service before such appointments are finalized. Presidential Executive Order – Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Regulatory Initiative This Executive Order, February 19, 2025, directs all Agency heads, in coordination with their Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Team Leads and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to review all...

Additionally, progress on each major Federal agency’s strategic objectives in the agency Strategic Plan is updated annually in the Agency’s Performance Report. In the report, agencies provide a brief description of achievements during the last fiscal year performance period, any challenges encountered, and next steps planned to address identified challenges to drive performance improvements. Federal agencies provide information to the public on their goals and objectives in numerous ways. They identify longer-term goals and objectives in their Agency Strategic Plans, and identify annual performance goals in their Agency Performance Plans which are updated with the President’s Budget each February. Leaders of the 15 Cabinet departments and 9 other large Federal agencies also set a limited number of near-term, implementation-focused Agency Priority Goals to be achieved within a 24-month time frame. These Agency Priority Goals represent a smaller subset of ambitious, outcome-focused performance goals that hinge on strong execution—rather than additional resources or legislative action.

Federal agencies report progress annually on their performance goals in their Agency Performance Reports or their Performance and Accountability Reports, which are updated either in February or November each year, respectively. Agencies post their annual Agency Performance Reports (or PARs), Strategic Plans, and annual Agency Performance Plans, on their websites. Performance.gov provides a one-stop shop for links to this agency performance information. In making government performance information more easily understood to the public, Performance.gov also provides, on a single central website, an integrated view of agency strategic goals and objectives, and detailed information on each Agency... The site also has information about the Cross-Agency Priority Goals which are used to implement the President’s Management Agenda, and as well as details government-wide mission and management priorities. Consolidating and integrating government-wide performance planning and reporting in this manner, the Performance.gov website comprises the Federal performance plan.
