When seeing the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government results this year, many agencies may be breathing a sigh of relief. It’s not necessarily because of where they landed in the rankings. Rather, it’s because there appears to be a broader atmospheric shift for the federal workforce. The Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group released the 2023 Best Places to Work results Monday. In analysis that comes alongside the rankings, the Partnership’s governmentwide measure of

Navy grapples with at-sea shortages as recruiting lags

The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton ·

2024/05/20

Over the past year, the Navy has had, on average, about 18,000 unfilled positions on its ships. The reason is pretty straightforward: there simply aren’t enough sailors in the service because of ongoing recruiting challenges. In 2023, the Navy missed its recruiting goal by about 7,000 sailors. Nonetheless, officials say the picture appears to be improving: last year, the service onboarded 6,000 more uniformed service members than it did in 2022, and so far this year, it’s about 2,900 recruits ahead

Federal workplaces aren't what they used to be, not with a third or half of employees teleworking at least some part of the week. Since only a few people telework 100% of the time, that creates difficulties in managing office space.

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ IT shop is preparing for budget cuts across some of its priority areas next year — but not for its growing workforce.

Do federal employees make more or less than people with similar jobs in the private sector? It's a question often asked, often answered, and never settled. The latest effort comes from the Congressional Budget Office, which looked at the question using 2022 wage data. It found federal pay and benefits superior for those with high school diplomas or less education. But the private sector paid better for those with doctorates or professional degrees. For an evaluation, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin

If your agency gives grants, you probably know about the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. That's where so-called single audits go. Single audits of spending by non-federal grant or aid recipients are required by law. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found the whole clearinghouse process, operated by the General Services Administration, has a few problems. Agencies don't have the data they need to do single audits. For the details, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with GAO's Director of

Many of the companies who currently handle military household goods moves have been vocal in their criticism of DoD’s new contract to overhaul the system. Up until now, they’ve been pressing the department to make changes to the Global Household Goods contract (GHC).

Although GHC has been in the works for years — the final solicitation was issued in 2019 —
