Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey 20161

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 April 27 – June 8, 2016, and 65% of our employees participated in the survey.

An Engaged Workforce

Our Employee Engagement score is 72%, our highest score ever for this index. PBGC ranked 10th among 

large agencies in employee engagement. The Employee Engagement Index is composed of three subfactors: 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 (90%)

• My supervisor treats me with respect (85%)

• I know what is expected of me on the job (82%)

• My supervisor listens to what I have to say (82%)

Highest % Positive Items:

The top five ranking questions have scores ranging from 89% 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. (93%)

• I know how my work relates to the agency’s goals and priorities. (90%)

• I am constantly looking for ways to do my job better (89%)

• Employees are protected from health and safety hazards on the job. (89%)

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

Schedules, Child Care Programs, Health and Wellness, and Telework.

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 42 items identified as strengths 

(65% positive or higher) and only one item identified as a challenge (35% negative or higher). The 2016

FEVS results will help us strive toward a model work environment that supports effective human capital 

practices.
