The United States Bureau of Efficiency[1] was a United States federal government bureau from 1916 to 1933 formed to create efficiency ratings "for the classified service in the several executive departments in the District of Columbia."[2][3][4] Prior to 1916, its efforts had been organized under the Division of Efficiency within the Civil Service Commission.[5]
Herbert D. Brown was appointed by Woodrow Wilson to head the Bureau.[6]
