The Office of Personnel Management released governmentwide results from its annual employee survey on Monday, opening a window into views on their engagement and satisfaction at work, as well as insight on the shift to telework during the pandemic.
The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey was postponed twice last year because of the pandemic before rolling out in September. Its content also changed, with new sections on the pandemic added and the usual recurring sections streamlined. Overall, 624,800 feds from 82 agencies participated.
Overall, feds rated their experiences highly. The governmentwide global satisfaction went up four points to 69%. The overall employee engagement index, an average of three sections focused on employees relationship with their supervisors, perception of agency leadership and work experience, went up to 72%, as compared to 68% in 2019.

The overall employee engagement score for feds who worked three or more days of telework a week was 76 percent compared with only 62.5 percent engagement for those employees who could not telework.
