The Partnership for Public Service

The Partnership for Public Service is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing public service through a campaign of educational efforts, policy research, public-private partnerships and legislative advocacy. By improving public understanding and confidence in government, particularly among young people, the Partnership mission fills a critical and unique role by helping to recruit and retain excellence in the federal workforce.

In its activities and publications, the Partnership focuses its energy on achieving leverage through entrepreneurial partnerships and collaboration. With an emphasis on inspiring a new generation to serve and transforming the way government works, it acts as a catalyst for change.

Achievements

The Partnership's research team is dedicated to providing the quality information, insightful analysis, and practical solutions needed to modernize the federal government so it can better protect and promote the security, health and prosperity of all Americans. Through its unique series of high-visibility reports, insightful issue briefs, original surveys, and innovative research projects (such as the annual Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings) the Partnership is helping to shed light on the challenges facing the public sector and the changes we need to make to better attract, retain and empower America's most talented workers.

The Partnership's Solutions Center offers a comprehensive one-stop shop of promising innovations and lessons learned across federal organizations.

The Solutions Center captures what is being done across government to blaze new trails and more importantly, how it's being done. Take a close look at how innovations in strategic human capital planning, leadership, performance management, recruitment and HR transformation can serve as catalysts for change.

Goals

With the ambitious goal of revitalizing the civil service, the Partnership for Public Service is moving forward on multiple fronts, including:

• Agency Partnerships: Working with federal agencies to transform the government workplace into an environment that will better meet the workforce demands of an increasingly complex world and changing economy;
• Legislative Affairs: Supporting a legislative reform agenda to address outdated laws that keep the government from attracting and retaining the country's most talented citizens, and to support the implementation of management practices that enable the federal government to compete effectively with the private sector;
• Policy And Research: Providing reliable data, sound analysis and prudent advice on the challenges facing the federal workforce, and educating opinion-leaders and decision-makers;
• Education And Outreach: Inspiring a new generation to public service through a national college and university campaign (www.calltoserve.org) and informing talented mid-career professionals about employment opportunities in government;
• Communications: Raising awareness and improving public attitudes about government service.
