Which Federal Agencies Are Most Compatable with Millenials’ Workplace Wants?

By: Steve Grumm

Just a heads-up on some 2012 analyses/opinions stemming from data about Millenials’ public service employment preferences.  Here’s a blog post from Government Executive:

 Zoe Grotophorst, an analyst with the Government Business Council (GBC), took [traits describing Millenials] and compared them against the Office of Personnel Management’s 2011 Employee Viewpoint Survey (EVS) resultsto compile a list of the federal agencies most compatible with what new grads are looking for in an employer. For instance, agencies that reported high levels of supervisor attention, feedback and recognition as well as work-life balance scored higher than those that didn’t. The only eight agencies that scored a 50 percent or higher are listed below:

  1. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
  2. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
  3. Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
  4. Department of Commerce (DOC)

Read the full Gov’t. Exec.  post for the complete list and a link to the underlying report.
