The Talent Imperative: Prioritizing the Employee Experience

There’s a mass exodus happening among today’s workforce. According to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a record 4.3 million Americans left their jobs in August 2021.

The “Great Resignation” — or the “Big Quit” as some are calling it — has shaken nearly every industry, including public sector. The average time to hire federal employees is around 100 days and contributing to the delay is legacy systems. In the era of COVID-19 and the expansion of remote work, employee experience is an essential mode of operation.

Introducing The Talent Imperative, a podcast from GovExec in partnership with Salesforce, where we dig into the ways government leaders can attract and retain employees during this turbulent time.

Here, GovExec President Constance Sayers sits down with Casey Coleman, senior vice president of Global Public Sector Digital Transformation at Salesforce, to discuss how agencies can leverage tools and best practices to enhance the employee experience.
