Survey shows satisfaction in the Senior Executive Service Date published: 11/2/2008
WHEN YOU are But once a year the Office of Personnel Management gives everyone The OPM just released its "Report on Senior Executive Service Pay for Performance for Fiscal Year 2007." Government-wide, more than 46 percent of SES members reported annual salaries of over $157,000. Last year, the average salary increase for SES members was 3.5 percent, and more than 60 percent were satisfied with their pay. Overall, almost 5,000 SES members received performance awards, and over 72 percent were satisfied with the recognition they received. When it comes to rating performance, the top four departments for giving the highest SES appraisals are the Departments of State (71 percent), Justice (69 percent), Health and Human Services (66 percent) and Housing and Urban Development (63 percent). This equated to average performance awards at State of almost $11,000, In a survey of more than 7,000 SES members, 93 percent said pay should be based on performance. Some 67 percent of these executives were satisfied with the recognition they received, and 72 percent felt their bonuses were linked to their appraisals. TELEWORK As the costs of commuting rise and the hours spent in transit soar, the Telework Exchange, a public-private partnership on telework, found that 82 percent of federal workers spend work time outside of the office each month. Based on an online survey of almost 500 federal workers, the exchange indicated that only 18 percent of federal workers work from their office all day, every day. Forty-two percent telework at least part of the time, and 20 percent of federal office workers report spending at least a portion of two days a week outside of the office. The Telework Exchange estimates that by increasing the use of mobile technologies (smart phones), the federal government could save $37 million in additional productivity each day.
