Partnership for Public Service

VA has once again been named as one of the government’s top five best places to work, as determined by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service.

As determined by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, VA has been named as one of the government’s top five best places to work.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ranks sixth among the 17 largest federal agencies considered the best places to work, according to the annual ranking issued by the Partnership for Public Service.

The study also credits improved Veteran trust of the department to recent customer experience programs within the Veterans Health Administration. In September 2019, 88% of Veterans nationwide said they “trust the VA for their health care needs” when responding to an outpatient health care survey, up from 85% two years earlier. The percentage of Veterans who said they trust the VA to fulfill our country’s commitment to Veterans increased to 72% in April 2019, from 59% in July 2016.
