The Partnership has been measuring employee engagement and satisfaction in the federal government for more than 20 years, helping to transform a niche human resources concept into a topic of consequence for agency leaders, members of Congress and the public.
A flagship effort was our Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® program. Launched in 2003, the program provided leaders at all levels across agencies and subcomponents with models for successful employee engagement and a roadmap to better manage their workforce.
Now, we are continuing the tradition of Best Places to Work through our very own viewpoint survey.
Issued in 2025 after the cancelation of the government’s regular annual employee survey, which we drew on to administer the Best Places to Work program, our Public Service Viewpoint Survey is currently the only data source illuminating how federal personnel view their leaders and workplaces.
