The Veterans Affairs Department is set to lay off tens of thousands of employees in a bid to enhance workforce efficiency and reduce management layers. An internal memo outlined that the VA will conduct a comprehensive review of its organizational structure, aiming to adjust to new missions and the workforce size that aligns with its revised objectives. This follows executive mandates to reform federal workforce strategies. Currently, VA employs 482,000 staff, and plans to cut up to 83,000 positions to return to 2019 staffing levels.
VA's plans to resize its workforce will reduce management and bureaucracy while increasing efficiency, leading to significant job cuts across the department.
The department's forthcoming layoff plans follow executive orders aimed at reshaping federal agencies and are expected to take place due to workforce optimization.
