WASHINGTON, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- NASA was named Thursday as the 2023 Best Place to
Work in the Federal Government – large agency – for the 12th year
in a row by the Partnership for Public Service. The title serves as
a reflection of employee satisfaction with the workplace and
functioning of the overall agency as NASA explores the unknown and
discovers new knowledge for the benefit of humanity.
"Once again, NASA has shown that with the world's finest
workforce, we can reach the stars," said NASA Administrator
Bill Nelson. "Through space
exploration, advances in aviation, groundbreaking science, new
technologies, and more, the team of wizards at NASA do what is hard
to achieve what is great. That's the pioneer spirit that makes NASA
the best place to work in the federal government. With this
ingenuity and passion, we will continue to innovate for the benefit
of all and inspire the world."
The agency's workforce explored new frontiers in 2023, including
shattering an American record for longest astronaut spaceflight,
announcing the Artemis II crew, launching the Deep Space
Optical Communications experiment, partnering on a sustainable
flight demonstration later designated as X-66, and celebrating a
year of science gathered from the agency's James Webb Space
Telescope. Feats beyond our atmosphere persisted with NASA's
OSIRIS-Rex (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource
Identification, and Security – Regolith Explorer) mission - the
first U.S. mission to collect an asteroid sample. Insights from the
asteroid data will further NASA's studies on celestial objects,
while the agency also continues its pursuit to return astronauts to
the Moon as part of the Artemis campaign.
Along with being the 65th anniversary of the agency, 2023
brought new climate data with the launching of the U.S. Greenhouse
Gas Center and Earth Information Center, new perspectives on
Earth's surface water through NASA's SWOT (Surface Water and
Ocean Topography) mission, and accrued air quality data from NASA's
TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution)
mission.
The Partnership for Public Service began to compile the Best
Places to Work rankings in 2003 to analyze federal employee's
viewpoints of leadership, work-life balance, and other factors of
their job. A formula is used to evaluate employee responses to a
federal survey, dividing submissions into four groups: large,
midsize, and small agencies, in addition to their
subcomponents.
