The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) typically administers the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) in May of each year, with preparations for the survey beginning months earlier.  On February 28, 2025, OPM stated that this year’s FEVS would be delayed in order to reduce administrative burdens on agencies in light of President Trump’s urgent governmentwide priorities.

In view of President Trump’s realignment of the federal workforce, and in order to thoughtfully recalibrate the FEVS to align with Administration objectives, OPM has decided not to administer the FEVS this year.  Instead, OPM will update the questions and resume administering the FEVS on its regular schedule.  To ensure efficient resource allocation, OPM requests that agencies consult with it before undertaking any preparations to administer the FEVS or a similar survey at an agency or component level.

For consultation with OPM or additional information/support, agency headquarters-level human resources policy offices may email evs@opm.gov.  Component-level human resources offices must contact their agency headquarters for assistance.  Employees must contact their agency human resources offices for further information.
