The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS)/Annual Employee Survey (AES)

Employee attitude and opinion surveys are a proven tool for assessing workforce morale, retention, engagement and readiness. Survey results are used by leaders and supervisors in public and private sector organizations to improve the workforce performance and engage employees. DoD uses survey results from surveys such as the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) to inform programs and training content to improve the DoD workforce climate and increase engagement.

FEVS is the Government’s largest and most widely utilized survey tool!

In the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136, November 24, 2003, 117 STAT. 1641), Congress established a requirement for agencies to conduct an Annual Employee Survey (AES) (16 questions included in the FEVS instrument) to assess:
→ Leadership and management practices that contribute to agency performance; and
→ Employee satisfaction with …

• leadership policies and practices
• work environment
• rewards and recognition for professional accomplishment and personal contributions to achieving organizational mission
• opportunity for professional development and growth

To meet this requirement the FEVS is administered by OPM for many of the Federal Agencies. The FEVS contains the 16 core AES questions and this year’s FEVS results are posted HERE. You will also find an Info Paper that summarizes many of the key results for DoD this year.
