WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) was recognized as the top small agency in the “Best Places to Work in the Federal Government” 2024 rankings. The recognition from the Partnership for Public Service is based on the 2024 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, the most comprehensive assessment of employee engagement and satisfaction across the federal workforce, highlighting NIGC’s commitment to fostering a positive and engaging work environment for its employees. This is the second consecutive year the agency has topped the list.
“Our employees are the heart of NIGC, and this recognition underscores the exceptional workplace environment fostered by leaders at all levels and carried through every aspect of the agency’s daily work with tribes,” said NIGC Acting Chair Sharon M. Avery.
“We are committed to keeping NIGC a place where our team feels valued, motivated, and inspired,” said Dustin Thomas, NIGC Chief of Staff.
The annual Best Places to Work rankings, compiled by the Partnership for Public Service, evaluate federal agencies based on key workplace factors such as leadership, work-life balance, employee engagement, and overall job satisfaction. NIGC’s top ranking reflects its steadfast focus on employee well-being, professional development, and a strong sense of purpose in regulating and supporting tribal gaming enterprises.
