Partnership for Public Service statement on the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence

WASHINGTON – The nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service released the following statement from President and CEO Max Stier after Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed by the Senate to serve as the director of national intelligence:

“We congratulate Tulsi Gabbard on her confirmation as director of national intelligence. In her new role, the former congresswoman from Hawaii will serve as head of the U.S. intelligence community and serve as the principal advisor to the president. We are hopeful that Director Gabbard will work collaboratively with our nation’s intelligence agencies and rely on the expertise of the community’s career professionals to protect our national security.”

 The Partnership’s annual Best Places to Work in the Federal Government^® rankings offer the most comprehensive assessment of how federal public servants view their jobs and workplaces, providing employee perspectives on leadership, pay, work-life balance and other issues. Some key recent data points from the Intelligence Community include:

• 2023 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government overall score and rank: 72.6 out of 100, ranking 3 out of 17 large agencies

• 2023 Effective Leadership Score: 75.9 out of 100, ranking 3 out of 17 large agencies

The Partnership also produces and maintains several resources to assess and analyze the health of the federal government, including a political appointments tracker with The Washington Post that follows the progress of roughly 800 of President Trump’s Senate-confirmed positions. The annual Best Places to Work in the Federal Government^® rankings measure employee engagement government-wide as well as at individual departments, agencies and subcomponents. Additionally, our Vision for a Better Government provides areas of focus for management reforms.

During the past 24 years, the nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service has been dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy. We work across administrations to help transform the way government works by providing agencies with the data insights they need to succeed, developing effective leaders, inspiring the next generation to public service, facilitating smooth presidential transitions and recognizing exceptional federal employees.
