GAO Again Named Among Best Places to Work in the Federal Government

Posted on December 09, 2014
The Partnership for Public Service today announced that GAO has again placed highly in its 2014 roster of the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government, rising to 2nd place among mid-size agencies.  We ranked 3rd in that category last year. GAO also again ranked #1 in our support of diversity among mid-size agencies. We have consistently placed among the top 5 on the Partnership’s list since 2005. U.S. Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro commented on the rankings: GAO strives to be an employer of choice in the public sector.  Consequently, it is very gratifying to learn that we have once again been named a best place to work in the federal government. I am very proud of our rise in the rankings over the last year and our continuing first-place showing in support of diversity. I want to thank all the GAO managers and employees for their dedicated efforts at continuing to make GAO one of the Best Places to Work.

About Watchblog

GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.

The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.
