Partnership for Public Service Survey Needs to Hear from Federal Workers - DEADLINE: December 19

The Partnership for Public Service (PPS) is running a federal employee work survey from now until December 19th.  We are asking federal unions to share the survey link with their federal members and distribute social media appeals for the same

Background: The Trump Administration decided to hide its shame and cancel the annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) this year.  Because this is a critical year to expose what is happening at federal agencies, PPS stepped up to the plate to get it done.  This survey is not coordinated or shared with the government. No identifying data is shared, and responses will be scrubbed for individual protection (see Q&A). 

This effort is critical.  The information from this survey will be critical for us to use to 1) prevent further destruction of federal agencies, programs, people, and assets, and 2) help fix what was broken and make the necessary changes to improve for the future. 

This is easy.  Please share the link with your members and promote it on social media.  That’s it.  Guidance, graphics, and a Q&A are attached and below to help you spread the word. 

From PPS:
