GPO Named One of the Best Employers in America
WASHINGTON —The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has been named one of the
best employers in the country by Forbes. GPO ranked for the first time on Forbes’ annual
list of mid-sized agencies in Government Services. GPO joined the Department of
Education and the Government Accountability Office in the category for best Government
agencies. During the COVID pandemic GPO has increased its efforts to provide a first-rate
customer experience to all of its customers. Additionally, GPO’s Director led the effort to
make GPO one of the first Federal agencies to implement a full-time telework and remote
work policy for eligible teammates in the wake of the pandemic.

“I am thrilled that Forbes recognizes what I’ve known since I got here — GPO is a great
place to work. This honor says so much about our team, which goes above and beyond to
ensure that our customers in Congress, the White House and the Federal agencies have an
outstanding customer experience with every interaction,” said GPO Director Hugh
Nathanial Halpern. “Despite ongoing challenges of the pandemic and changes to the way
we work, our teammates have not wavered in their commitment to serving our Nation.
This award validates our efforts to prioritize delivering for our customers, while protecting
our teammates’ work-life balance.”
Forbes and Statista selected GPO as part of the America’s Best Employers 2022 through an
independent survey applied to a vast sample of approximately 60,000 American
employees working for companies with more than 1,000 employees in America. More than
23,000 employers were eligible for the honor. Respondents were asked to rate their
willingness to recommend their employer to friends and family. The survey evaluated
employers on criteria such as salaries and wages, diversity, atmosphere, potential for
development, and handling of the COVID pandemic.
