The federal government grapples with the pressing challenge of attracting and retaining top talent. Melissa Barker, Vice President of Practice Development at Duffy Group, addresses this critical issue in her recent Government Executive article, highlighting the vital role of flexible work arrangements in modernizing public sector employment.
Melissa explains how teleworking and flexible schedules are not just beneficial but essential for government agencies to stay competitive. She argues these innovative approaches can help overcome stereotypes of government work being rigid and unadventurous, making public sector roles more appealing to a broader talent pool.
Melissa brings a wealth of experience in recruiting for government and public sector organizations. With her deep understanding of public service and her connections with prime government talent, she has been instrumental in matching candidates with roles that align with their skills and passion for public service.
