Last month, federal agencies announced over 62,000 job cuts, compelling them to reassess how they deliver essential services. Amid these changes and the high costs associated with contracting out services, there is a push to enhance strategic workforce development internally. While contractors provide specialized knowledge, their reliance can lead to inefficiencies and higher costs compared to developing the capabilities of federal employees. The shift requires a focus on modernization and alignment with technology demands, allowing agencies to operate effectively without compromising their missions or creating financial burdens for taxpayers.
To meet new mission needs and manage the escalating risk and threat environment, it's more important than ever that federal agencies harness the expertise of their internal workforce.
This inflection point gives agencies a new mandate to focus on strategic workforce development in alignment with innovative modernization efforts.
Contractors can be useful in providing specialized knowledge, but they are also more expensive than federal workers - and they don't offer the same cost-effectiveness.
With 62,242 announced job cuts across 17 agencies last month, many agencies are scrambling to find new ways to deliver mission-critical operations.
