2010 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey Summary

 

The 2010 FEDERAL EMPLOYEE VIEWPOINT SURVEY SUMMARY

About this Summary
Becoming America's model employer depends on attracting, developing, and retaining talented employees and ensuring they have a direct line of sight between the work they do and  EEOC's mission. This is the sixth time EEOC has participated in such a survey. We participated in the FHCS in 2004, 2006, 2008, and in the FedView in 2010.  EEOC administered annual employee surveys in 2007 and 2009 in accordance with Public Law 108-136, 5 U.S.C. 7101.
The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FedView), formerly the Federal Human Capital Survey (FHCS), focuses on employee perceptions regarding critical areas of their work life, areas which drive employee satisfaction, commitment, and ultimately retention in the workforce. The findings from the 2010 survey offer an indication of employee perceptions of workforce management within EEOC.  By looking at trends across the different administrations, agency leaders can also determine how far they have come and what remains to be done.
