This 2013 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

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.

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