2010 Federal Employee Viewpoint (FEVS)

The Federal Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), formerly the Federal Human Capital Survey, focuses on employee perceptions regarding critical areas of their work life, areas which drive employee satisfaction, commitment, and ultimately retention in the workforce. This is the 5th time OPM has administered the survey, which was first conducted in 2002, then again in 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010.

For more information about OPM and the FEVS, visit www.fedview.opm.gov.

The findings from the survey offer an indication of employees’ perceptions of USGS’ management. A USGS Best Places to Work Council has been established to serve as a focal point for developing bureau level actions to address issues identified in the FEVS.
