How Your Agency Can Invest in Its Workforce

Government agencies recognize they are at a disadvantage when it comes to competing with the private sector for talented employees, with pay cited as the most common reason.

But is there more to this story? What other factors go into recruiting, developing, and retaining qualified employees, and what strategies are agency leaders adapting to build an engaged and skilled workforce?

Erick Allen, Principal for Value and Strategy at Cornerstone OnDemand, recommends using technology to understand each employee and their skills to get “a clear line of sight for that internal mobility. It gives the employee an opportunity to be able to showcase themselves and find other jobs in the agency or any of the roll-ups…. It’s up to the employer to make that space comfortable for them to navigate, so that they don’t look outside of the walls of the agency or department.”
