The Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group, in collaboration with The Washington Post, present the 2022 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings for the top 10 agencies in four categories—large, midsize and small agencies, as well as agency subcomponents.  

The full rankings for 17 large, 27 midsize and 30 small agencies, as well as 432 subcomponents, will be available on April 12, 2023, along with data on employee views relating to 12 workplace issues that affect employee engagement and satisfaction. 

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 factors into better employee retention, the higher the weighting.
