How we make the Federal workforce more diverse"

Why does it matter that the Federal workforce be a diverse and inclusive one?

“We need to represent the people that we serve. We want to make sure that when people come in, when they work with agencies, that they see those who look like themselves, who they feel will have empathy and understanding for their lives.”

Why is employee engagement important in the Federal government?

“Engaged employees, happy employees, do better. They’re more productive and they have better ideas. They are part of the overall organization and it becomes organic.”
