Challenge

Societal change, new technology, demographic shifts and hybrid-work expectations changed HUD's culture and the way it works. As HUD launched a hybrid environment, its Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration led efforts to redefine where, when and how HUD works — while addressing recruitment and attrition and how the department measures success.
