“President Obama has made it clear: the Federal government needs to deliver results for the taxpayers. Our civil servants are the people who deliver those results, and we at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) are doing everything we can to make them the best, most productive workers in the world. The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (formerly the Federal Human Capital Survey) has been updated to gather more useful data that will help us improve our workplaces and increase productivity. The survey, now done annually, helps us listen to our employees and focus on employee perceptions that drive job satisfaction, commitment, engagement, and ultimately contribute to the accomplishment of agency missions. Publishing the results of the survey is only the beginning. The next step is to develop a “Blueprint for Results.” In a new initiative, OPM will provide customized support to help agencies use their survey data to drive organizational change.”
