NASA Earns Highest Employee Engagement Index in Federal Government for Eight Years Running


Congratulations to NASA for achieving the highest employee engagement index in the Federal Government for all large agencies (for the 8th consecutive year)! Impressively, NASA also achieved the number-one ranking in the inclusion index (New IQ) again this year, as the Agency has for each of the six years in which this index has been measured. The New IQ ranking includes all agencies: small, medium, large, and very large agencies!

The results of the 2019 Government-wide Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey are available at:
