An analysis and results of the 2007 FDIC All Employee Survey for the required U.S. Office of Personnel Management questions are provided below.

1. Interpretation of Results: FDIC scored especially high (i.e., greater than 70% favorable responses) on items related to satisfaction with the job itself, clarity about FDIC’s mission and strategic direction, satisfaction with immediate supervisors, physical work environment, and availability of resources (tools, technology). Employees have a strong belief that their work is important (88% favorable responses) and they like the kind of work they do (82% favorable responses). FDIC also scored well above the norm on pay and benefits. FDIC’s greatest opportunities for improvement (30% or more unfavorable responses) related to issues associated with leadership, open communications, employee empowerment, and administration of pay-for-performance (PFP) and performance management programs. A structured action planning framework that can be leveraged to facilitate positive workplace changes is being developed and will be implemented in the near term. The framework will focus on the theme of maximizing organizational effectiveness through enhanced Leadership, Communication, Empowerment, and Trust. The Chairman and her senior leadership team have initiated several immediate action steps to demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the FDIC is considered by its employees as a best place to work. These immediate action steps include: convening a senior leadership conference to review and discuss the 2007 survey results to ensure understanding of issues and priorities; initiating a communication strategy designed to share the survey results with all employees and facilitate their input on potential strategies for future improvements; and initiating quarterly employee call-in sessions with the Chairman to facilitate direct exchange of potential concerns and ideas on how to maximize workplace effectiveness.
