The Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group, in collaboration with The Washington Post, present the 2023 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings for the top 10 agencies in four size groupings—large, midsize and small agencies as well their subcomponents. 

The full rankings for 17 large, 26 midsize and 30 small agencies as well as 459 subcomponents will be available on May 20, 2024, along with data on employee views relating to eight workplace issues that affect employee engagement and satisfaction. 

The rankings are determined by the Best Places to Work employee engagement and satisfaction index score, calculated by the Partnership and BCG.

The index score is calculated using a proprietary weighted formula that looks at responses to three different questions in the federal survey. The more the question predicts intent to remain, the higher the weighting. 

  • I recommend my organization as a good place to work. (Q. 46)   
  • Considering everything, how satisfied are you with your job? (Q. 70)   
  • Considering everything, how satisfied are you with your organization? (Q. 72)
