## Resource

The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) isn't happening in 2025 — but the need to hear from federal workers has never been greater. Michelle Amante, Senior Vice President for Government Programs at the Partnership for Public Service, returns to the podcast to unpack the OPM pause on FEVS this year and how the Partnership is ensuring federal employees still have a voice. Michelle explains the newly launched Public Service Viewpoint Survey, why employee feedback is mission-critical in a transitional year, and how the Partnership designed a shorter, 23-question survey that mirrors core FEVS methodology while addressing new realities like AI, resources, and shifting leadership. Listeners will hear: Why FEVS was paused for 2025 What's included in the Partnership's alternative survey How confidentiality is protected How to participate before December 19 New resources the Partnership is offering, including Fed Support webinars and the "Government for a New Era" initiative The survey closes December 19.
