Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

It was no surprise when President Donald Trump this week issued a memorandum to the heads of federal departments and agencies, essentially directing them to get their employees back to the office full-time.

Many who work in the federal government knew that an incoming Trump administration would take aim at diversity, equity and inclusion jobs within their ranks.

A new memo from the human capital agency says federal agencies should change policies and require workers to be in the office full time by the end of the week.

The Office of Personnel Management has created a new email account meant to collect reports of suspected diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, one of a series of moves the Trump administration has taken to slash DEI efforts across the federal workforce.

President Donald Trump has struck a number of blows to DEI in the federal government. Only time will tell if he is successful in rooting out this ideology.

According to the memo, OPM is requiring all federal agencies to notify their employees by Friday at 5 p.m. of their compliance with the executive order. Agencies are also mandated to update their telework policies with new language emphasizing in-person attendance.

All federal officials overseeing diversity, equity and inclusion will be put on paid leave by Wednesday evening.

The Office of Personnel Management tells agency and department heads they must close all DEIA offices by the end of Wednesday and put government workers in those offices on paid leave.

VERIFY readers asked if workers were really told they would face “adverse consequences” if they did not help identify “disguised” diversity and inclusion roles.

Employees of diversity, equity and inclusion programs are to be placed on administrative leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday. Agencies were told to make plans for layoffs.

All federal employees in diversity, equity and inclusion positions are ordered to be placed on paid administrative leave by the close of business Wednesday, according to a memo from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
