Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey

Accomplishing USAID’s mission depends on getting the right people in the right place, doing the right work, with the right skills, at the right time to pursue U.S. national interests abroad. To achieve this goal, USAID is continually enhancing and strengthening its human capital efforts.

A major part of these efforts is reaching out to its employees and gathering feedback, and responding to the concerns and needs of USAID staff. USAID's success depends on the talent and motivation of its workforce. Recruiting and retaining the best and the brightest individuals depend, in large part, on the quality of the work environment.

OPM conducted the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) with USAID employees in April 2, 2012 to May 14, 2012.

USAID employees’ response rate to the survey was 61.7% up from the 40% in 2012 (2,229 total participants). The respondents provided important feedback. USAID will be incorporating employee feedback from the survey as it creates and revises strategies, policies, and services to ensure the organization has the human capital environment needed to help employees complete their job’s duties and enable USAID to accomplish its mission.
