The Partnership for Public Service is a dynamic nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works to revitalize the federal government by inspiring a new generation of Americans into federal service and by transforming the way government works.

When federal employees enter public service, they swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution, “in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty.” FIVE BEST PRACTICES FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING To help agencies develop their 2022-2026 strategic plans, the Partnership for Public Service and Grant Thornton are hosting a three-part workshop series with strategic planners from across the federal government.

The “Strengthening the Federal Workforce” section of the spending plan released last week sets the stage for Biden’s approach by quoting from his pre-inaugural message to federal employees: “I’m thinking of you and I have the utmost trust in BUREAU OF FISCAL SERVICE ARCHIVES • PARTNERSHIP FOR PUBLIC Beginning in 2018, Bureau of the Fiscal Service leaders started investing in new technologies and streamlining internal decision-making processes to better meet the needs of other agencies and the public.
