About this report

Part of delivering a world-class Federal workforce is acknowledging that our employees are our greatest asset. It is for this reason that we focus on employee perceptions regarding critical areas of their work lives: areas which drive employee satisfaction, commitment, and ultimately retention in the workforce.

This report highlights your agency's areas of strengths and challenges, identifies areas of progress and opportunities for improvement. Your agency's 2011 results are compared with both the 2011 Governmentwide results and your agency's 2010 survey results. These results allow agency leaders and employees to reflect on past accomplishments while setting priorities for the future.

Everyone can play a part in building a better Federal workforce and a better future for all Americans.
