McCaul Statement on Low DHS Morale--DHS Ranks Last in 2014 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government Survey

Press Release

Today, U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement on the Partnership for Public Service's annual "The Best Places to Work in the Federal Government" survey. For the third consecutive year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the third largest federal agency, ranks last out of 19 large federal agencies.

Chairman McCaul: "It is entirely unacceptable that DHS ranks lowest on the list of large federal agencies on the 2014 Best Places to Work survey. This once again underscores the concerning challenges the department and its components continue to face with morale. While Secretary Johnson has made forward strides, DHS must do better. It's time that senior leadership within the department is truly held accountable for improving employee morale."
