GAO Again Named Among Best Places to Work and #1 for Our Support of Diversity
The Partnership for Public Service announced that GAO has again placed on its roster of the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government. This year, we rose to 2nd among mid-size agencies, tying with Peace Corps for that honor.
And, for the 3rd year in a row, we ranked #1 in our support of diversity among mid-size agencies.
U.S. Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro commented on the rankings:
GAO has long been known as a terrific place to serve the public in a positive work environment. The Partnership’s 2016 rankings validate our reputation as a leading employer. We have a great fact-based, non-partisan mission and an outstanding workforce that is deeply committed to helping government work better and to holding agencies and programs accountable. I’m also heartened that GAO’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in continuing high scores in that area.Read our press release here and learn more about GAO’s work in these WatchBlog posts.

GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.
The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.
