Maintaining half of the core items from prior OPM FEVS administrations addresses the needs of stakeholders by facilitating transparency through a comparison of survey results across agencies and across time,\u201d acting OPM Director Michael Rigas wrote in a memo to heads of agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FEVS survey instruments have remained largely unchanged since 2013, according to the annual reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The streamlining of core questions for 2020 is designed to make the survey easier to manage, and therefore increase the number of employees that choose to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FEVS response rates have hovered in the low- to mid-40 percent range since 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2020 version will also include a new section about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/hr\/2020\/03\/16\/coronavirus-update-dc-area-feds-told-to-telework-or-emergency-leave\/\" target=_blank>COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, \u201cwith questions that allow identification of ways in which employees continued to achieve missions in the face of an unprecedented pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watchdogs and workforce experts have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2020\/06\/25\/disagreements-persist-over-feds-role-in-pandemic-reopening\/\" target=_blank>emphasized the criticality<\/a> of soliciting employee feedback in agency pandemic response and reopening plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith the addition of the COVID-19 pandemic section, the survey also provides employees an opportunity to participate in data collection with the potential to shape future policies and interagency learning regarding human capital management in the face of an emergency,\u201d Rigas wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the context of the survey, the COVID-19 pandemic also changed the timeline for administering the FEVS survey, which normally goes out to employees in May of each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2020 survey will go out in two waves in July 2020, with the rollout of results slated for October this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of Personnel Management intends to streamline the survey and include questions about the federal response to the COVID-19
