GovExec Daily: The Connection Between Employee Satisfaction and Engagement
Nextgov's Frank Konkel joins the podcast to discuss a new report on how the government employee – and customer service – experience can be improved.
There are many jobs in the public sector that mirror those in the private sector and vice versa, but even when controlling for the similarities, the employees have a different experience with job satisfaction. In fact, according to a new study by Forrester Research, public sector employees’ satisfaction level with their jobs is affecting the way public servants are engaging with their work.
Frank Konkel is the Executive Editor of Nextgov. He wrote about the report and he joined the program to discuss how the federal government can make work more engaging for employees.
