18. FEVS - What is it? The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey is a tool that measures employees' perceptions of whether and to what extent conditions that characterize successful organizations are present in their agencies. The results set a baseline for ongoing Human Capital assessment in the Federal Government. The survey provides general indicators of how well the Federal Government is running its human capital systems. The survey results provide senior managers critical information. OPM and agency managers will use the findings to develop policies and action plans for improving agency performance.
