Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS)

The FEVS is an annual survey administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). It is a tool that measures Federal Government employees’ perceptions of whether, and to what extent, conditions characterizing successful organizations are present in their agencies. The survey is an opportunity for NIH employees to candidly share their perceptions about their work experiences, organizations, and leaders. The ultimate goal of the survey is to provide NIH with information to build on strengths and improve challenge areas.
