Contact Jordan LaPier Director (202) 495-3320 jlapier@ourpublicservice.org The Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte celebrate the 2017 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government January 25, 2018 On Friday January 26, the nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte will honor the top and the most improved federal agencies included in the 2017 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings as well as the organizations that have made significant and consistent improvements in employee engagement over time. “The 2017 Best Places to Work results represent the largest single-year increase in federal employee engagement in the history of the rankings,” said Max Stier, president and CEO of the Partnership. “The agencies that had the highest levels of employee engagement in 2017 and those that made the biggest improvements deserve recognition for fostering positive work environments.” Stier continued: “The threat of a prolonged government shutdown was a reminder of the important work being done by our federal workforce and the vital services they provide to the American people. Especially following the brief but unsettling disruption of federal services, improving employee engagement will require an even stronger commitment from the Trump administration and leaders across government.”
