Based in Washington, D.C. — the heart of federal policy and public service governance — Public Service Pluse ( PluSe ) is an independent NPO built exclusively to elevate the career development of federal employees through smarter, more equitable public policy reform.
Our location places us steps from federal agencies, congressional oversight bodies, national public service associations, and the broad network of policy experts who shape the rules that govern the federal workforce.We maintain a strictly nonpartisan, public-interest mission rooted in the on-the-ground realities of public service.
Join our work advancing public policy that strengthens career development for federal employees across the United States.
Our Open Research Projects
Our research portfolio produces rigorous, actionable analysis that directly informs real-world policy improvements for federal employee career development. All projects are peer-reviewed, publicly accessible, and designed to move beyond abstract theory to deliver clear, implementable recommendations.
Career Pathway & Promotion System Analysis
We map structural gaps in federal promotion frameworks, publish comparative assessments of high-performing agency career ladder models, and deliver data-backed fixes to make advancement predictable and accessible for all federal staff.
Professional Development & Training Policy Evaluation
We audit existing federal training mandates, funding and upskilling programs, showcase successful agency-led initiatives, and propose updates to turn one-off training into continuous, career-long learning support for the modern federal workforce.
Legal & Regulatory Review of Civil Service Workforce Rules
We systematically review U.S. code, OPM guidance and agency workforce regulations to flag outdated, conflicting barriers to career growth, producing plain-language summaries and law-aligned draft amendments for policymakers and federal employees.
Equity & Inclusion in Federal Workforce Advancement
We analyze advancement disparities for underrepresented federal groups including veterans, disabled staff and rural-based workers, delivering targeted recommendations to build inclusive systems that ensure no talented public servant is locked out of career opportunities.
