About The Federal 

Employee Viewpoint 

Survey (FEVS)

Title 5. Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 250 

requires agencies to 

administer an annual 

employee survey. The 

U.S. Office of Personnel Management now 

administers the FEVS 

annually, thus meeting 

agencies’ yearly survey commitment. 

This year, the webbased survey was 

completed by more 

than 376,000 federal 

employees from April 

23 to June 7, 2013. It 

contained 99 questions. 

The FEVS focuses on 

employee perceptions 

regarding critical areas 

of their work lives 

which drive employee 

satisfaction, commitment, and ultimately 

retention in the workforce. The FMC will 

use the 2013 results to 

improve processes, 

services, and organizational outcomes 

through the recruitment and retention of 

a high performing, 

diverse workforce. 

Results At—A– Glance 

The FMC 2013 Best Places to Work Index Score rose by 7.8 points from 34.7 in 2012 to 42.5. The 

FMC ranked 27 out of 29 small agencies.

of the Commission, with strengths in work experiences and accountability. However, opportunities 

for improvement lie within employee perceptions on effective leadership, performance management and training and development.
