REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – The 2024 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings have been released, and the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command is the Army’s No. 1 best place to work among small subcomponent organizations.
With an overall 2024 Engagement Score of 80.6, USASMDC is the No. 2 ranked Army organization of any size.
“Congratulations to all on a job well done,” said Richard De Fatta, USASMDC deputy to the commanding general. “SMDC scored the highest in more categories than any other Army organization, obtaining the highest scores in the Army for pay, work-life balance, recognition, and professional development.”
The Best Places to Work in the Federal Government scores are calculated by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, and Boston Consulting Group using the Office of Personnel Management’s annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey results.
It offers an assessment of how federal public servants view their jobs and workplaces, providing employee perspectives on leadership, pay, innovation, work-life balance and other issues. In 2024, 457 agency subcomponent organizations were evaluated.
USASMDC had the highest Army scores of 81.2 for professional development; 78.2 for pay; 70 for recognition; and with an 84.4, tied for first place in work-life balance with U.S. Special Operations Command. As a result of brainstorming sessions with the workforce to improve its FEVS scores in 2024, the command’s scores for employee input, work-life balance and recognition rose from its 2023 scores.
“Together we will continue to implement appropriate changes and concentrate on emphasis areas identified in the FEVS to keep us on track as a best place to work,” De Fatta said. “Thank you for your incredible dedication to our critical mission areas, your professionalism, and your commitment to our ONE TEAM vision. Let’s achieve even more this year!”
