Workforce Solutions for the federal government
Recruit, develop and retain your next leaders
Doing more with less is an operational requirement and reality for you. Federal agencies have been asked to increase their service while decreasing operating costs, making it progressively difficult to attract and retain skilled employees.
And there are even more complications — in 2010, the average age of government employees was 47. Based on the retirement guidelines by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), many of your employees could be eligible for retirement in the coming years.
Adopting a strategy of continuous education can help you attract and retain valuable employees while you build a leaner, more efficient workforce:
- Prepare employees for advancements in classifications.
- Recruit qualified candidates with educational incentives.
- Help employees improve critical thinking and collaborative skills, which may improve efficiencies.
- Add educational benefits to help employees confidently stay in public service.
- Increase retention to keep knowledge and experience in your agency.
Your employees can choose the flexibility of attending class online, anytime and anywhere there’s an Internet connection, or at one of more than 100 locations around the country.
