There has been a dramatic shift in the way we work. For the past three years, employees have gone above and beyond to get the job done. However, just getting the job done is no longer enough. Now, we need to innovate and try new things. Join us at the GovLoop offices on Wednesday Dec. 13 at 4:30–6:30 p.m. ET to hear from government experts about how to truly innovate in the current world of work.

From where you work has become a political hot potato. But the politicians aren’t the ones who are returning to the office and transitioning to more in-person work, you are. And we know that it hasn’t been an easy transition for some of you.

Where government employees should work has become quite the controversial issue.

Cybersecurity usually is at a disadvantage against bad actors. It must focus, first and foremost, on defense – protecting assets and information – while hostile interests keep finding new ways to launch their attacks, such as the rise of ransomware. Of Gartner's top seven trends in cybersecurity for 2022, a majority of them are about risks and playing defense. To strengthen defenses, the infrastructure law signed by President Biden...

The worst of the pandemic may be past, but after two years of employees having to work remotely, many state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies find their workers want to continue working from home. Given that agencies were able to seamlessly transition to digital delivery of services, hybrid work continues to play a role in the government workforce. But many state and local agencies are strapped for funding and need to find ways to lower...

The use of operational technology (OT) is spreading rapidly across government agencies at all levels as they use sensors and remotely-controlled devices for many different applications.
