Performance Measures

The Partnership generates performance data, and reviews and incorporates data from a myriad of other sources, to track progress across government and help agencies and Congress improve their practices.  

We analyze federal surveys, track nominations of political appointees, convene customer experience experts and publish federal agency data for Congress to use. We also stay informed about leading government practices, share what we learn across government and strive to hold government accountable.  

To help build a better government, we make our data, findings and recommendations available for agency leaders, members of Congress and the public. This wealth of performance data provides insight into how well agencies are functioning, where government can improve and what opportunities are available to help.  

We also conduct ongoing research on what creates a lack of trust in our government. The results will lead to recommendations on how to rebuild trust in our public institutions and political leaders.
