Keeping Public Sector Workers Engaged Across Generations

The federal workforce is a diverse tapestry of identities, including that of many different generational cohorts. As more Gen Z workers move into jobs, agencies must learn how to hire and retain them while also managing workers from Generation X and Millennials.  In a new report, the Partnership for Public Service outlines the ways of managing an intergenerational workforce consisting of Generation X and Generation Z workers. 

Paul Pietsch is a Senior Manager at the Partnership, where he oversees the federal workforce research portfolio. He is one of the authors of the report titled, “Retaining My Generation Retention Strategies for Generation X and Generation Z Federal Employees.” He joined the podcast to talk about the report.
