Workforce: Attracting and Keeping Talent

As the competition for top talent continues to heat up, both federal agencies and contractors are facing
a range of challenges in their efforts to attract and retain the best employees. From hiring and
recruitment to retention and diversity, the workforce landscape is constantly evolving and organizations
must adapt to stay ahead of the curve.

One key issue that both federal agencies and contractors are grappling with is the demand for a more
flexible work environment. With more and more employees looking for the ability to work remotely or
have flexible schedules, organizations are having to rethink their traditional approach to work in order
to attract and retain top talent. This is particularly challenging for federal agencies, which often have
strict regulations and protocols that make it difficult to implement a more flexible work environment.
However, with the shift towards remote work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many federal
agencies have had to adapt and find ways to enable remote work for their employees.

Another challenge that is becoming increasingly pressing is the need to develop the skills of the
workforce. With technology and automation transforming many industries, organizations must invest in
training and development programs to ensure that their employees have the skills needed to succeed in
today’s economy. This is particularly important for federal agencies, which often have a large number of
employees with specialized skills and knowledge, as they must ensure that they have the right skills in
place to meet the mission-critical needs of the agency.

In addition to these challenges, both federal agencies and contractors are also facing pressure from
wage inflation, as employees demand higher pay and better benefits. This is further complicated by the
need to maintain a diverse and inclusive workforce, which can add additional costs and require a
different approach to recruitment and retention. This is particularly important for federal agencies,
which are required by law to ensure that their workforce is representative of the population they serve.
To attract top talent, the federal government may need to consider offering higher salaries, particularly
for highly skilled and specialized positions.

and inclusion and implementing technology solutions like Storsoft, organizations can position
