The following items originated from the Employee Viewpoint Survey (EVS). The EVS is a federal government survey used to determine areas of potential action and to determine “Best Place to Work” results that often receive public attention. However, the EVS is only deployed to federal employees, which is not representative of our entire workforce, so we’re including these items here.
