For the 11th year in a row, NASA has been named the best place to work in the federal government among large agencies, according to the Partnership for Public Service.
The ranking, announced Wednesday, reflects the agency’s commitment to missions of discovery and exploration, including sending humans further into space than ever before for the benefit of humanity.
“In 2022, NASA advanced the universe with the James Webb Space Telescope, achieved a watershed moment for planetary protection with the DART impact, and took a giant leap on our way back to the Moon and beyond to Mars by launching and resuming the Artemis I flight test. These missions, and every NASA mission, are a success made possible by our unparalleled team,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
“The passion and precision of our workforce makes NASA the best place to work in the federal government. Together, we are poised to achieve bolder feats with new advances, more scientific contributions on Earth and in the sky, and more incredible technological breakthroughs to help shape the 21st century.”
The federal government’s Best Places to Work rankings are based on responses to the Office of Personnel Management’s annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey from nearly 557,778 federal workers and an additional 326,300 employees in 14 agencies that conducted separate surveys at the same time and had a response. rate higher than 50%. The Partnership for Public Service began publishing the rankings in 2003.
This year, the Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group, in partnership with The Washington Post, released an advanced look at some of the best places to work in 2022 in federal government rankings and data. This special edition included a ranking of the top 10 agencies in four categories – large, medium and small agencies, as well as their constituents.
