(The Center Square) − A former top government official said the federal government has a rare chance to rethink how it hires and trains top talent amid an ongoing hiring freeze.
“From a workforce standpoint, we have seen the substantial shrinking of the federal workforce, and you’ve got a hiring freeze in place at the same time, you’ve got incredible initiatives toward modernization of technology, improving processes, trying to really focus on delivery,” former General Services Administration Administrator Emily Murphy told The Center Square. “Which makes it a great time to be looking at how to get the most out of the workforce you have? How do you upskill them? How do you make sure that they’re up for the challenges and that they are up to speed on the latest technologies?”
