Voice of Employee: Survey Management at Scale
November 8, 2023
Voice of employee projects come in all sizes. Managing surveys for a thirty-person office is quantitively and qualitatively different from managing them for a one-point-six-million-person organization.
Not every survey management tool is built to scale at any level, to deliver actionable results based on the findings, and to work just as well for voice of employee, voice of customer, voice of citizen, and more.
In this blog, we’ll look at one organization that uses Verint for Voice of Employee purposes, but we will let their work speak for itself.
The US Office of Personnel Management
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) undertakes what has been called “the most comprehensive, robust yearly ESAT project that you’ll find anywhere.” Now, this makes sense. OPM’s responsibility is what it says on the tin, managing personnel, so it’s no wonder they need powerful survey management software to deliver surveys and collect feedback across agency, department, office, and team.
In their Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) Dashboard, every citizen can see the results of the most recently completed survey of the workforce under OPM’s purview. With 1.6 million surveys delivered, over 625 thousand surveys filled out and a responsibility to share this data with the public, OPM shows off their robust Voice of Employee work in a dashboard on their website.
The variety and amount of information available is incredibly impactful. For example, only 6% of federal employees answered the question “I know what my work unit’s goals are” in the negative. That is a decrease from 7% the year before. On the other hand, only 46% of federal employees surveyed said that ” management involves employees in decisions that affect their work.” This information is surely useful to OPM and the departments and agencies they serve.
According to a November 6th press release on the FEVS survey:
“This year’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey highlights that federal employees remain remarkably resilient, increasingly engaged, and value diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the workplace,”
-Kiran Ahuja, Director of the Office of Personnel Management
OPM’s efforts show that it is possible to do employee experience management at scale. While FEVS isn’t the only survey with dashboards on the OPM website, it’s incredible scale and annual nature, make it a terrific way to understand year over year change in government employee sentiments, challenge points and more.
