Federal Government

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">This ATARC white paper examines strategies for modernizing the federal workforce, drawing on a Workforce Modernization Alliance roundtable. Intended for federal HR leaders, agency executives, and workforce planners, it highlights an IRS example in which automation reduced an HR action from 40 hours to seven minutes.</p>
<p>The paper discusses AI-assisted work, faster recruitment, skills-based hiring, apprenticeships, and continuous training. It examines risks from deepfake job candidates and fraudulent remote employment, alongside the need for human oversight and stronger identity checks. Readers will find approaches to measuring time-to-productivity, supporting mid-level managers through change, and addressing employee fatigue as agencies adapt hiring practices and workforce operations.</p>

Attendees of this webinar will learn about : Freshservice in action today: Moving off a legacy system requires a clear strategic vision and strong executive alignment. Jack Schmidt from Argonne National Laboratory (a US Department of Energy lab) will share key takeaways from their migration journey from a legacy platform to Freshservice, offering actionable guidance for public sector peers planning their own ITSM modernization efforts. Where certification stands: Freshservice is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace with "In Process" status toward FedRAMP Class C (Moderate) certification and is built on AWS GovCloud (US).

A Gartner recognized ITSM platform: Freshworks was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for IT Service Management Platforms, with ITSM, ITAM, ITOM, and enterprise service management capabilities unified on a single platform. That's particularly relevant for agencies considering shared services beyond IT. Deployment measured in weeks: Freshservice customers can deploy in weeks rather than the lengthy implementation cycles often associated with legacy ITSM platforms. We'll explore what that deployment model looks like in a government environment and how it can reduce administrative burden and total cost of ownership. We'll also cover how the partner ecosystem supports adoption from evaluation through implementation by : Carahsoft brings extensive public sector acquisition expertise to help navigate technology procurement. VTG brings 20+ years of government IT experience, complemented by deep Freshservice implementation and integration expertise through Whitlock Infrastructure Solutions, Freshworks' 2026 Services Partner of the Year.
