Romancing the Federal Employee

How can federal agencies retain their employees—and keep them engaged? In August 2015, the Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte Consulting released Improving the Employee Experience, a study using data from the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), paired with meta-analyses of research findings from academia, such as Vanderbilt and Princeton universities, and private-sector consultants like the Hay Group. The report offers advice on how agencies can hire and retain (happily) the right talent.
