Visit bestplacestowork.orgThe Partnership, in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group, measures employee engagement and satisfaction government-wide as well as within individual departments, agencies and subcomponents.
When the project began in 2003, employee engagement was a niche human resources concept. It has now become a priority for political and career leaders, garnered attention in the halls of Congress and spun off into initiatives across the federal government.

Despite disruptions and challenges, including pay and hiring freezes, government shutdowns, budget uncertainty, political turmoil and increasingly complex missions, many agencies have made strides in engaging employees and creating more productive work environments.
