🤔 What does the federal government's first-ever Chief People Officer do? Check out this episode of Ernest Wayde, Ph.D., M.I.S's Psych in Business podcast to find out. Dr. Wayde interviews our amazing Chief People Officer Elizabeth Kolmstetter about the work of her team, including our intentional focus on holistic employee support, data-driven leadership, and fostering a collaborative culture at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency: https://lnkd.in/eGk7PNk4. It took me a year to find Elizabeth (h/t Jennifer Anastasoff) and a bit longer to lure her away from NASA--but it's definitely been one of the best decisions I've made. Am super grateful to her for everything she has done to ensure the success of our People-First culture.

Exciting news! The Biden-Harris administration released guidance to support federal agencies improve their hiring process. "This memo is a strong step forward in improving the federal hiring experience," said Tech Talent Project Co-Founder and Executive Director Jennifer Anastasoff. "Many tech, data, and AI professionals - and beyond - are eager to serve their country. It's exciting to see the federal government looking to best-in-class recruitment and retention strategies to attract and keep folks who are critical to delivering services, enforcing laws, and protecting our country. This initiative will allow agencies to build the diverse talent pool necessary to meet today's challenges." For more information and to read the full memo, head to https://lnkd.in/eJvFzaGA.

🌟 Extra! Extra! Read all about it! 🌟 Check out Government Executive recent article on the federal government's innovative efforts to recruit AI experts, featuring insights from our very own, Jennifer Anastasoff: "What really became clear is there needed to be a more institutionalized way for folks to be able to connect the people in government who are seeking technical talent and the people who are in the technical world who are ready to give their talent to government — because both exist." Some highlights from the article: ❗ Over 200 technologists have joined federal agencies through the national AI talent surge. ❗ The TechToGov coalition's virtual job fairs have attracted nearly 4,700 participants and over 100 government agencies. (h/t The Volcker Alliance) ❗ Direct hire authorities and tech talent programs like the U.S. Digital Corps and White House Presidential Innovation Fellows are accelerating AI recruitment in the federal workforce.
