Workplace satisfaction gap grows between SES and staff

Federal News Radio – “Members of the Senior Executive Service report much higher satisfaction at their agencies than the employees who work for them, a new report finds. Using numbers from its study, 2014 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government, researchers from the Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte Consulting LLP found the satisfaction gap between federal employees and SES doubled on issues of performance management such as promotion fairness, recognition for good work and discipline for underperforming workers. “This big divide suggests that senior executives need to take steps to address this divergence of views if they expect to connect with and motivate their workforce,” the report said.The findings are based on the views of more than 392,000 respondents who participated in the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, including more than 4,900 of the 7,200 total members of the SES.”
