- Unweighted count of responses excluding "Do Not Know", "No Basis to Judge", "There have been no recent hires in my work unit", or "I do not have any accessibility needs."
Percentages are weighted to represent the Agency's population.
Q12 and Q34 are negatively worded, so percent positive scores include "Strongly Disagree" or "Disagree" responses and percent negative scores include "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" responses. Results for these items should be interpreted with caution as these items have been flagged for review for 2023.
For confidentiality purposes, a "c" indicates that there are fewer than 4 responses to Questions 82, 83, or 84 and results are therefore suppressed.

Telework/Remote Work Telework : a work flexibility arrangement under which an employee performs the duties and responsibilities of such employee's position, and other authorized activities, from an approved worksite other than the location from which the employee would otherwise work. In practice, telework is a work arrangement that allows employees to have regularly scheduled days on which they telework and regularly scheduled days when they work in their agency worksite.
Remote work : an arrangement in which an employee, under a written remote work agreement, is scheduled to perform their work at an alternative worksite and is not expected to perform work at an agency worksite on a regular and recurring basis. A remote workers official worksite may be within or outside the local commuting area of an agency worksite.
