As part of the Annual Employee Survey program, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) conducts the Federal Human Capital Survey on the off years of the DHS-wide Employee Survey (e.g., 2010). This survey contains questions mandated by OPM and DHS-specific questions designed to further explore issues identified in past surveys, as well as demographic information.
The survey findings are used to:
* Learn employee attitudes;
* Guide human capital management strategies and practices;
* Provide human capital metrics within the Human Capital Assessment and Accountability Framework (HCAAF) in the following four indices:
- Leadership and Knowledge Management
- Results-Oriented Performance Culture
- Talent Management
- Job Satisfaction
The report /US%20Coast%20Guard%20FHCS%20Summary.pdf indicates that the Coast Guard has an overall positive, safe and empowering work environment for our civilian employees. While the results are encouraging, we should understand that we have challenges and can do better. OPM's website provides some general guidance on how to use the results.

NOTE: This survey only covers Civilian employees. We will discuss the results of the Coast Guard's Organizational Assessment Survey, which covers the entire workforce, in the near future.
