Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey

Each year the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) participates in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), a confidential online survey of its employees to assess how well we are doing in providing a positive, healthy, and innovative work environment. The FEVS, administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) contains questions designed to measure employees' feelings and attitudes in topic areas such as talent development, leadership, management/supervision, performance culture, employee engagement, innovation, and other areas important to creating an effective work environment. The results are used to improve HHS and our Divisions by providing information to help us build on our strengths and address our weaknesses.

2024 FEVS

In 2024, OPM conducted the FEVS as a census, meaning that all eligible employees should have been invited to complete the survey. The 2024 FEVS was administered from May 20, 2024 through July 5, 2024. During this open period, more than 59,000 employees responded to the survey for an overall HHS response rate of 71 percent.

The HHS employee engagement score increased to 78.7 in 2024. Our engagement score has increased consistently since 2014.
