As part of its research into the best places to work in government, the Partnership for Public Service has found federal workers are motivated to drive change through creativity, but need stronger support from their organizations and leaders to do so. Specifically, the vast majority look for ways to perform their jobs better, but few are encouraged to initiate new ways of doing things or rewarded for creativity and innovation.
Overall, results suggest government agencies have considerable opportunity to improve. But a few score high in a ranking of federal agencies’ innovation and are among the best workplaces for federal employees.
