Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey to begin this month

The 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey will begin going out to feds starting this month, according to the Office of Personnel Management. The annual survey, first used in 2002, measures employees' perceptions of the various conditions that characterize successful organizations.

OPM will administer the FEVS to about 1.8 million feds—up from about 560,000 employees last year. Starting this year, the survey also will include permanent part-time employees in addition to permanent full-time employees.

The survey, which OPM said takes about 25 minutes to complete, will be given from April through June. In addition to the questions asked in prior years, OPM said it is adding three new demographic items that focus on disability status, veterans' status, and sexual orientation.

The American Federation of Government Employees posted a copy of the FEVS announcement on its web site.

Who cares! no one at NASA is going to listen folks who work for this agency. Usually, NASA lab chief should compete for this position, and administration suppose to pick the best candidate. This is not happening at Heliospheric Science Division of GSFC where director just picks a person who the most loyal to him and has exactly the same opinion....???

Being Transgendered I always get a chuckle when I get to the Gender question. How am I supposed to answer that? The choices of course are M or F. I guess I should just flip a coin and mark that question accordingly.

It's about money, honey, period. No matter if you are the fed or private. A question about sexual orientation is a bit too invasive..., I am surprised this was allowed...or maybe nobody challenged that!

WOW that is a lot of hostility on the board here. True the budget stuff is VERY frustrating, but it's this kind of negative attitude that gives us federal employees a bad name.
