Results of the BSEE Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey

In 2018, as in years prior, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) participated in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), conducted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for all federal agencies. All permanent employees who were on board BSEE as of October 31, 2017 were eligible to participate in the survey. These Bureau employees received the survey invitation in an email from OPM, and the survey period was between May 2 to June 13, 2018.

BSEE showed improvement in some areas that were highlighted by our FY 2018 survey participation (which was at an all-time high at 89%!). We are trending upward in the Employee Engagement Index, which is an index of FEVS questions that OPM uses to measure employee satisfaction with their immediate supervisors, senior leaders, and their intrinsic work experience. 

Bureau leadership will analyze FEVS results and will continue to use the survey as a metric toward attaining the goal of making BSEE an employer of choice.

The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) measures employees' perceptions of whether, and to what extent, conditions characteristic of successful organizations are present in their agencies. The FEVS serves as a tool for employees to share their perceptions in many critical areas including their work experiences, their agency, and leadership. The FEVS provides results at lower levels allowing managers to see where improvements within their work unit are necessary. The results provide agency leaders insight into areas where improvements have been made, as well as areas where improvements are needed.
