Managing the changing composition of the workforce
from FedScoop Radio Hosted by FedScoop
Fewer than 10 percent of federal employees are under 30 years old, and at some agencies, more than half of the employees are eligible to retire. In a recent Daily Scoop Podcast, Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies (WAEPA) CEO Shane Canfield discusses the changing composition of the workforce and what federal agencies are doing to hire and retain talent. Canfield highlights the importance of the workforce having a global and holistic view of the agency or department. “[For example] at the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the younger employees are assigned one project which works its way through the entire agency top to bottom; this gives people a lens into what happens at all levels of the federal government because not every single job has the same responsibility, the same opportunity to really drive decisions and direction. That is tremendously important.” Guest: Shane Canfield, CEO, WAEPA Host: Francis Rose, Host, The Daily Scoop Podcast This podcast was produced by Scoop News Group for The Daily Scoop Podcast and underwritten by WAEPA.
