Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey 20180F

1

We Seek Employees’ Perspectives 

To find out how PBGC employees feel about their work environment, leadership, work/life balance and other aspects of 

the agency, we ask them to take the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). The survey was administered May 2, 

2018 through June 13, 2018, and 60% of our employees completed the survey.

An Engaged Workforce

Our Employee Engagement Index (EEI) score is 79%, our highest score ever for this index. PBGC ranked 4th among 

small agencies and 4th among large agencies in employee engagement. The EEI is comprised of three sub-factors: 

Leaders Lead, Supervisors, and Intrinsic Work Experience. The index provides a guide to the areas that agencies can 

focus on to foster an engaged workforce. PBGC employees responded positively to questions in this index. Those 

questions in this index receiving the highest scores included: 

• I know how my work relates to the agency’s goals and priorities. (92%)

• My supervisor treats me with respect. (89%)

• I know what is expected of me on the job. (88%)

• My supervisor listens to what I have to say. (87%)

An Inclusive Workforce

Our New Inclusion Quotient (New IQ) score is 72%. PBGC ranked 5th among both small and large agencies in 

inclusiveness. The New IQ is grouped into five Habits of Inclusion: Fair, Open, Cooperative, Supportive, and Empowering. 

It is based on the concept that individual behaviors repeated over time will create habits necessary for inclusiveness. The 

Supportive Habit of Inclusion received the highest scores in this index. Those questions included:

• My supervisor supports my need to balance work and other life issues. (90%)

• In the last six months, my supervisor has talked with me about my performance. (90%)

• My supervisor treats me with respect. (89%) 

• My supervisor listens to what I have to say. (87%)

Highest % Positive Items:

The top five ranking questions have scores ranging from 92% to 97%. The questions and responses are:

• When needed, employees are willing to put in the extra effort to get a job done. (97%)

• The work I do is important. (92%)

• I am constantly looking for ways to do my job better. (92%)

• I know how my work relates to the agency’s goals and priorities. (92%)

• Employees are protected from health and safety hazards on the job. (92%)

PBGC employees are very satisfied with our Work/Life Programs, giving high scores for Alternate Work Schedules, 

Telework, and Health and Wellness.

A Commitment to Improve

At PBGC, we value employees and recognize the importance of providing a work environment that is safe, conducive to 

professional growth and an overall good place to work. While some scores have improved over the last year, others have 

declined. However, there are 51 items identified as strengths (65% positive or higher) and no item identified as a 

challenge (35% negative or higher). The 2018 FEVS results will help us strive toward a model work environment that 

supports effective human capital practices.

Satisfied and Satisfied. Neutral represents responses of Neither Agree nor Disagree and Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied. Negative
