The employee engagement survey is distributed to all classified and exempt employees in the Executive Branch annually. Survey participation is voluntary, and the scores only reflect those who participated in the process. An “Employee Engagement Score” is calculated as an index of overall employee engagement. The index is the average of seven components of employee engagement, each based on a subset of questions in the employee engagement survey: Growth – personal growth and development, Balance – work-life, Supervisor – support, recognition and feedback, Communication – value employee voices, ideas, opinions, Peers – positive relationships in the workplace, Alignment – understanding the link between one’s job and the organization’s mission, Satisfaction – work and employer.
The score is the average of the seven components of engagement listed above. For 2022 the average employee engagement score was 3.84 out of a possible 5.0. Scores increased 3.6% from 2014 to 2017. There was a slight drop from 2017 to 2021. The 2022 survey shows overall engagement score going up slightly to be just shy of the highest score (2017; 3.85) we've seen since the survey began.
