U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
As we strive for continuous improvement, feedback from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) continues to be critical in identifying our agency's strengths and challenges. Collectively, our voices provide a strong foundation with which change can and will occur.
This report highlights what employees have identified as our agency's areas of strengths and challenges, along with areas of progress and opportunities for improvement. Our 2012 results are compared with our 2011 results and the 2012 Governmentwide results. Your input allows our leaders to work towards a common goal of building a better workplace.
