Biden administration wants federal government to be diversity, equity model for the nation
Officials want the government's diversity policies to be a 'model of excellence' for the entire country

The Biden administration is working on a "national strategy" for establishing diversity, equity and inclusion policies for the government that officials hope can be used as a template for companies and other organizations throughout the country.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) last week convened the first meeting of the Chief Diversity Officers Executive Council, a group that includes diversity officers from several federal agencies. The council will work to "implement and sustain" a government-wide plan for encouraging policies that support diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) in government hiring and employment.
However, the OPM also said it wants to ensure the government is "our country’s model of excellence" when it comes to implementing DEIA policies.
