From listening to action: preparing for what's next in FEVS

On-Demand   |  
1 Hour

OPM has proposed decentralizing the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, handing agencies ownership of survey design, timing, and content, with a smaller shared set of core questions to keep governmentwide trends visible, and a new 90-day window to report results to OPM and OMB. 

This is a real shift, and one worth getting ahead of. The stakes go beyond morale: When federal employees are heard and see their feedback lead to real change, that improvement shows up downstream too, in shorter customer wait times, fewer processing errors, and a better experience for the people who depend on agencies for critical services.  

The rule is still proposed, not final, but there’s no reason to wait to get ready. Join Qualtrics and Dr. Sydney Heimbrock, Qualtrics Chief Industry Advisor for Government, along with Veronica Hinton, Associate Director for Workforce Policy and Innovation at OPM, and Nathan Bailey, PhD, Managing Director at Federal Management Partners (FMP). Veronica will give insight into OPM’s goals for the change and considerations for agencies looking to meet requirements. FMP will bring lessons learned from helping agencies design, administer, and act on employee surveys, including bringing programs in-house.

  • OPM’s vision for collecting employee feedback to drive improvements

    • What changes when your agency owns survey design and timing, and the decisions that come with that: what to ask, how to assure high participation, and how to keep results comparable year over year
    • How to make manager follow-through the measure of success, backed by role-based dashboards and science-backed suggestions that turn survey results into action
    • How connecting the annual survey to other moments in the employee lifecycle, onboarding, training, exit, gives agencies a fuller picture for workforce planning
