“The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) today released agency-level results from the 2016 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). The 2016 FEVS was administered to 407,789 employees representing 80 (38 large / 42 small) Federal agencies. These results provided through UnlockTalent.gov contain scores for two major indices — Employee Engagement and Global Job Satisfaction across the Federal government. OPM plans to release the more detailed 2016 FEVS results in digital and print formats in early October. UnlockTalent.gov is a comprehensive data visualization dashboard used to help government leaders make data-driven decisions and design initiatives to improve overall engagement and employee satisfaction at Federal agencies. For the second year in a row, the government-wide employee engagement and the global satisfaction indices have risen by one percent breaking a four-year decline.  The gains made within many agencies are impressive; of 587 major bureaus of components across the Federal Government, 401 increased their levels of employee engagement from 2015 and 123 of these components increased by six percentage points or more.”
