Government at a Glance 2023
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, public procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

Flexible ways of working
Flexible working arrangements are not new, but public administrations have scaled up their use over the last few years. This happened particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic, when the associated quarantine periods meant they were used much more frequently. Most public servants experienced flexibility in two ways: adapting their working hours, and/or adapting their work location, usually by working from home. Outside of emergency situations, public administrations are consolidating the use of these arrangements as tools to improve productivity, enhance employee engagement and attract and retain an increasingly diverse public sector workforce.
