Employee Viewpoint Survey

A Message from the COO

We have received the results of this year's Employee Viewpoint Survey.

The results show that in many respects we think the Export-Import Bank of the United States is a great place to work. We like our work, the people we work with, and are results and goal oriented.

But we have concerns about workload, resources, the physical work environment, and pay. These are issues to be taken seriously and that need to be addressed. As many of you know, the focus of our off-site retreat earlier this month was updating our strategic plan. One of the topics discussed was the results of the annual survey. We are brainstorming ways to improve the physical work environment at Ex-Im Bank. In the meantime, we appreciate your engagement and ongoing hard work on behalf of our institution.

2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey

Federal agencies are required to regularly conduct surveys of their workforce to determine employee attitudes toward their work and satisfaction with their jobs and compensation package. This information helps agencies learn about factors affecting recruitment and retention in the federal service. In addition, the survey findings provide data to senior managers to meet their agency mission and address human capital management challenges.

The 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey was administered electronically for six weeks, April 4 to May 16, 2012, by email invitation from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Individual survey responses were password protected and confidential. The employee sample consisted of permanent, federal Ex-Im employees. Of the 351 employees surveyed, 163 responded providing the Bank with a response rate of 46.4 percent.

The Ex-Im Bank's survey results and an analysis of the findings are provided in the links below.
