LATEST GOVERNMENT-WIDE HUMAN CAPITAL SURVEY
Printable Version

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ranked in 2007 the best place to work in the federal government, has topped the Office of Personnel Management’s 2008 employee survey in three of four areas and was second in the fourth category.

"It’s very gratifying to see these results," said NRC Chairman Dale Klein. "This is a testament to our ongoing work in hiring, retaining and training the best people available to continue protecting the public and the environment."

Out of the 83 agencies represented in the survey, the NRC is first in the Talent Management, Job Satisfaction and Leadership & Knowledge Management indices. The agency is second in the Results-Oriented Performance Culture Index. The NRC also ranked among the top 10 agencies in improving its scores in every index since the last survey.

In the Partnership for Public Service's "2007 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government" rankings (based on OPM's 2006 survey), the NRC was the top-ranked large agency in government. In the Partnership's 2005 rankings, the NRC ranked third among federal agencies and it was the top-ranked regulatory agency in government.
