The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) plans to ask the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review their request for continuing approval of Organizational Surveys, which gather data on Federal agency and program performance, climate, and leadership. The surveys include various types like Federal Employee Viewpoint Surveys, Exit Surveys, and New Leaders Onboarding Assessments. Public comments are invited on aspects like the necessity and public burden of these surveys. The request pertains to a collection that covers about 78,780 respondents with an average completion time of about 10.62 minutes each.
Simple Explanation
The Office of Personnel Management wants to continue using surveys to see how well different government offices are working and how leaders are doing, but they need special permission because it might take some time and effort from people to fill them out. Some people are asking if these surveys are useful enough to be worth the effort and if they might be a bit too long or hard to understand.
