More than half of federal workers value creativity and innovation in their jobs, according to a new report from a nonprofit organization.
The Partnership for Public Service and the Hay Group, a global management consulting firm, looked at the factors driving innovation in agencies and found 63.3 percent of employees gave the government a positive score on innovation. The percentage was based on the average of three innovation-related questions posed in the Office of Personnel Management's annual survey of federal employee attitudes; the 2010 survey included more than 263,000 employees from 32 large agencies, 34 small agencies and 224 agency subcomponents.
NASA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission topped the list of most innovative agencies, according to the report. The General Services Administration, State Department and Army rounded out the top five agencies. Employees ranked the Securities and Exchange Commission last for innovation on the list of 28 agencies included in the snapshot.
