In his 2012-2013 Executive Budget and Reform Plan, Governor Cuomo stated that in  2011-12 the State started the process of merging and consolidating State agencies to achieve efficiencies and reduce redundancies.

The Governor indicated that “This process continues ... with consolidations, ... resulting in better, streamlined services." 

Among the proposed mergers set out in the 2012-2013 proposed budget: merging the Department of Civil Service and the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations "to provide the State with a single entity responsible for a strategic approach to workforce management, including recruiting, training, promoting, and developing a best in class workforce for the people.”
