Best Places to Work in Federal Government Rankings

The Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group recently released the 2022 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings.

The full rankings include 17 large, 27 midsize and 30 small agencies as well as 432 subcomponents. Data is also included on employee views relating to 12 workplace issues that affect employee engagement and satisfaction.

The survey measures employee engagement and satisfaction government-wide and at individual departments, agencies and subcomponents.  

The rankings and accompanying data provide a means of holding federal leaders accountable for the health of their organizations, shining the spotlight on agencies that are successfully engaging employees as well as on those that are falling short.  

The data also provides leaders with a roadmap to better manage our government’s most important asset—its employees. Best-in-class private sector organizations understand that increased employee engagement and satisfaction lead to better performance and outcomes, and federal leaders need to follow suit by placing greater emphasis on improving the workforce and the workplace culture. 

The index score is calculated using a proprietary weighted formula that looks at responses to three different questions in the federal survey. The more the question predicts intent to remain, the higher the weighting.

  • I recommend my organization as a good place to work.
  • Considering everything, how satisfied are you with your job?   
  • Considering everything, how satisfied are you with your organization?
