The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) leads Federal agencies in shaping human resources management (HRM) systems to effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a high quality and diverse workforce. We need to solicit input from our customers to evaluate our performance in providing services that are citizen-centered, results-oriented and market-based. Customer Satisfaction surveys are valuable tools to gather information from our customers so we can design and implement new ways to improve our service to meet their needs. This collection request includes surveys that we currently use or plan to use during the next three years to measure our ability to meet our customers needs. The survey instruments include direct mail, telephone contact, focus groups and web exit surveys. Our customers include the general public, Federal benefit recipients, Federal agencies and Federal employees. This meets all requirements for Executive Order 12862 and OMB Memorandum 93-14.
This collection previously included surveys pertaining to Performance Measurement and Program Services Evaluations. These surveys were removed and only Customer Satisfaction Surveys will be associated with this collection.
