Summary:

OIG was asked to determine: (1) the current status of the hiring freeze, including eligible family member employment and lateral transfers; (2) the impact of the hiring freeze on the day-to-day function and mission of the Department, embassies, and consulates during calendar year 2017; (3) the impact of the hiring freeze on the safety, morale, and welfare of Department personnel; (4) the impact of the hiring freeze on Department personnel costs; and (5) the impact of the suspension of eligible family member employment on embassy and consulate operations and on other Federal agencies. OIG found that implementation of the freeze was not guided by strategic goals linked to a discrete, but related, exercise to prepare a plan to improve the economy and efficiency of Department operations, known as the organizational reform effort. This disconnect led to an inability to apply staffing reductions in a way that reflected the Department's strategic goals.
