Employee Engagement Our country deserves a federal government that responds to public needs—and that requires a fully engaged and motivated workforce. However, recent data shows that government still struggles to adequately engage its employees. The latest federal employee engagement score—63.4 out of 100—lags about 12 points behind the private sector mark, suggesting that government take decisive action to improve the overall work experience of our nation’s public servants. Top-performing private sector organizations understand that increased employee engagement leads to better performance and outcomes. Federal leaders need to follow the private sector lead by placing a greater emphasis on enhancing the federal employee experience and workplace culture.
