NASA was first among agencies in the “Best Places to Work
in the Federal Government” rankings, released by the
Partnership for Public Service and American University’s
Institute for the Study of Public Policy Implementation.
The ranking drew on the opinions of more than 100,000
respondents to the Office of Personnel Management’s Human
Capital Survey last year, said PPS. Second was the National
Science Foundation, followed by the General Services
Administration, Office of Management and Budget,
Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of Personnel
Management and the U.S. Air Force.
The reports ranked 28 cabinet departments and independent
agencies and approximately 200 sub-agencies on employee
satisfaction, effective leadership, performance-based
rewards and advancement, as well as work-culture and
benefits, says PPS, which based the rankings on a
statistical model created by a consulting firm, CFI
Group. To learn more about the rankings or methodology,
