Enhancing Employee Engagement: Best Practices for Government

Agency leaders and managers have responded to the President’s Management Agenda on People and Culture by taking active steps to improve how employees engage with their jobs, organizations, and missions.

In 2015, more than 400,000 employees participated in the Office of Personnel Management Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.

Results point to important topics to consider for improvement in the upcoming year. A number of occupations have been identified as critical to the achievement of agency missions, including IT specialists. When compared with other mission-critical occupations, items related to employee recruitment, development and retention are rated lower among IT specialists, suggesting an important focus for future strategic initiatives.

This briefing will bring government thought-leaders to the table to talk about their strategies to continue to improve employee engagement in their agency.

We’ll Discuss:

• Discussion of how agencies define employee engagement and the actionable steps to improve performance.
• Tools and techniques agencies are using to address increase competency and succession planning.
• In depth discussion of strategies being used in government to reinforce employee trust and empowerment.
• Best recognition and compensation strategies that fit in a government context.
