Program areas at Partnership for Public Service
Leadership developement:leadership is the most important factor influencing federal agency performance and government effectiveness. By developing the skills and abilities of federal leaders at all levels and providing forums for them to discuss shared challenges and solutions, the Partnership for Public Service helps leaders become agents of change within their own agencies and across government. Our approach to developing leaders is grounded in our Public Service leadership model, which outlines core values federal leaders embody - stewardship of Public trust and commitment to the Public good - and outlines the competencies they need at each stage of their leadership journey.
Workforce and engagement: the federal government is failing to recruit, hire and retain skilled and diverse talent, and federal employee engagement lags behind that of the private sector. By sharpening our focus on helping federal agencies recruit, hire and retain young talent, the Partnership for Public Service works to support government in not only replacing employees nearing the end of their careers but also bringing new skills and perspectives that will help the country rise to the significant challenges of the day and prepare for what lies ahead. In addition, top-performing organizations have highly engaged employees who are connected to their missions and customers. The Partnership's best places to work in the federal government rankings, based on an annual federal survey, serve as a valuable tool to evaluate employee engagement and pinpoint areas in need of improvement.
Communications:our government faces enormous operational, performance and talent challenges that require critical stakeholders in our society to pay attention to the health of our government, not just focus on the policy matters that typically draw the most attention. While we are an indispensable partner to many inside the federal government, it is critical to bring our best ideas to a broader audience to gain traction, support and create an intentional movement of engaged individuals and organizations. The communication department at the Partnership for Public Service plays a vital role in supporting and achieving these efforts. Through its comprehensive communication strategy and diverse team of professionals, the department positions the Partnership as the leading authority on government effectiveness, enables the organization to bring its best ideas to a broader audience, aids in the organization's growth, and helps to create more champions and supporters for better government.
Other program services include: government affairs, modern government, research, presidential transition, and others.
