The 2020 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings have been released and NIH is featured among six government agencies for its exemplary employee experience during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The rankings are calculated by the Partnership for Public Service, providing the most comprehensive measure of employee engagement across government.

NIH continues to be one of government’s most prominent employers of choice with an employee engagement score of 81.7 out of 100, 12.7 points higher than the government-wide score of 69 and 6.4 points higher than the HHS-wide score of 75.3. More notably, if NIH were its own agency, our engagement score of 81.7 would put us in 2nd place among large agencies, right after NASA.
