SEC Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) administered the 2016 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in May and June of 2016. The positive survey results reflect the culmination of a successful, multi-year effort by our employees and leadership teams to work together to create an environment that fosters employee engagement and supports the SEC’s commitment to excellence in our work on behalf of America’s investors and our markets. We are very pleased by the SEC’s strong employee engagement scores, as measured by the most important FEVS indices: We ranked 3rd among all large federal agencies in Global Satisfaction and 6th in Employee Engagement. In addition, the SEC experienced the largest increases among all large federal agencies in both indices versus 2015, with a 9% increase Global Satisfaction and a 6% increase in Employee Engagement.

Thank you to the over 3,200 SEC employees (76 percent of the workforce) who shared their views with colleagues and agency leaders by completing the survey.

The complete results of the 2016 FEVS can be found here.
