focused on improving organizational

developed to meet the agency’s specific
needs. The OAS is a general survey that
subsumes the Federal Employee
Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). OPM’s
Human Resources Strategy and

employees decided to leave their
organization. Customization is possible.
The New Leaders Onboarding
Assessment (NLOA) is a combined
assessment consisting of approximately
130 items, including items measuring

engagement, and leadership. New
Employee Surveys consist of
approximately 100 items that assess
satisfaction with the hiring, orientation,
and socialization of new employees.
Training Needs Assessment Surveys
consist of approximately 100 items that
assess an agency’s climate for training
and employees’ training preferences.
