Attorneys, accountants and examiners at the Securities and
Exchange Commission are more content today with their level
of pay and benefits, according to an online survey conducted
by the Government Accountability Office that complements an
earlier benchmark survey from 2001.
It said the surveys were conducted to compare employee views
before and after the agency implemented pay parity and
work-life programs, a decision that came after GAO reported
that SEC human capital challenges required immediate and
proactive management attention.
In the 2001 survey respondents were overwhelmingly dissatisfied
with pay and identified other non-pay issues as warranting
SEC management’s attention, according to GAO-05-118R.
It said the newer survey found respondents were significantly
more satisfied with pay and more flexible work schedules and
locations
