UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT November 5, 1998 From the Office of the Director NOTE TO: Jennifer Klein Office of the First Lady 2nd Floor, West Wing SUBJECT: OPM's Family-Friendly Workplace Advocacy Office Leigh Shein asked me to send you some material on OPM's new Family- Friendly Workplace Advocacy Office that was established by our 1999 appropriations language. I've included the actual appropriations language and part of our budget submission to OMB where we explain what the office will do. As you probably know, OPM has actually had a work/life programs office for several years. This congressional mandate will simply add some new responsibilities to it (serving as an "ombudsman" for employees). To give you a better picture about what this office is currently doing, I've included some of their literature. Please give me a call if you'd like to discuss this or need any more information. My telephone number (202) 606-1704. OPM Family- Friendly Workplact Mary Strand Special Assistant to the Director Advocacy office
