This 2015 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey Report provides summary results for your department or agency.

The results include response percentages for each survey item. The definitions for the Positive, Neutral, and

Negative response percentages vary in the following ways across the three primary response scales used in the

survey:

Positive: Strongly Agree and Agree / Very Satisfied and Satisfied / Very Good and Good

Neutral: Neither Agree nor Disagree / Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied / Fair

Negative: Disagree and Strongly Disagree / Dissatisfied and Very Dissatisfied / Poor and Very Poor

Positive, Neutral, and Negative percentages are based on the total number of responses (N) that are in these three

categories. The number of Do Not Know (DNK) or No Basis to Judge (NBJ) responses, where applicable, is

listed separately.

The last column indicates whether or not there was a statistically significant increase, decrease, or no change in

positive percentages from the previous year. Statistical significance indicates that the differences from year to

year are not due to random chance. Arrows slanting up indicate a statistically significant increase, and arrows

slanting down indicate a statistically significant decrease. Horizontal arrows indicate the change was not

statistically significant. For example, in the row with the 2015 results, if the arrow was slanting up , there was a

significant increase in positive percentages from 2014 to 2015. Please keep in mind that with large sample sizes,

even small differences may show statistical significance.

Note: The report tables that follow do not include results for any year listed in the Response Summary table

(above) that had fewer than 10 completed surveys. If there were fewer than 30 respondents for a given year, the

column showing the 'Difference from previous year' will show '--' to signify that no test was performed due to

small sample size. Items 72 to 78 are on a different response scale and are not included in the significance testing.

2010 response percentages are shown to provide context for the significance test from 2011.
