This year’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey again shows that scores in almost every measure tend to be highest among smaller agencies and decline with each successively larger category.
While OPM has not released agency-specific data, a spreadsheet made available does contain a breakdown of agencies broken down as very large (more than 75,000 employees), large (10,000-75,000), medium, (1,000-10,000), small (100-1,000) and very small (less than 100). Because very large agencies account for the large majority of federal employees, responses from them tend to dominate overall scores and hide differences by agency size.
* While the government-wide “employee engagement” score was 72, it was 71 for the largest agencies and 75-77 for the three smallest categories—that is, all agencies with fewer than 10,000 employees.
* While the government-wide “global satisfaction” score was 64, it was 63 for the largest agencies and 69-71 for the three smallest categories.
* While the government-wide “performance confidence” score was 84, it was 83 for the largest agencies and 89-90 for the three smallest categories.
* While the government-wide “DEI” score was 71, it was 70 for the largest agencies and 76-77 for the three smallest categories.
* While the government-wide “employee experience” score of 73 matched the score for the largest agencies, it was 78-80 for the three smallest categories.
