The Partnership for Public Service\u2019s new Agency Performance Dashboard<\/a> provides digestible insights on 24 federal agencies, including workforce trends such as demographics, employee engagement, employee education and organizational finances. Each dashboard offers one of the most comprehensive looks at agency trends, performances and workforce data available to the public in one place; its content will update as data evolves and as new features are added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By making this information available to the public, federal stakeholders, congressional staff and journalists, the dashboard sheds light on key agency insights and has the potential to hold agencies accountable to meet the needs of customers and federal employees. A few representative insights from the dashboard\u2019s federal workforce demographic and retirement data are included below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, a few agencies had significantly higher or lower numbers. For example, the Defense Department and the State Department\u2014not including Foreign Service\u2014had just 16% and 17% of their SES identify as people of color, respectively. As of September 2021, these percentages were the lowest of any agency on the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
