That’s pretty incredible. More than half of govt workers joined to contribute their heads, hearts, and hands to a mission.
I wonder what the results would have been if one of the options had been “challenging projects.”
It probably would have broken up Mission, for sure.
Everyone, please feel free to comment on this official GovLoop poll-
I agree – I think people forget that most gov’t workers participate for the mission. Leaders should make sure to emphasize the mission in daily work. It’s not only bonuses that get employees performing – it’s feeling that their work matters to the mission.
@GovLoop – The mission is what mainly keeps me happy. Making a difference fills voids and also makes me overlook some of the other negatives that may come along with the job.
How many responses were there?
From the people I know at EPA, the results don’t surprise me at all. Every day, I’m inspired by people who are absolutely dedicated to protecting the environment.
@Jeffrey Levy I’m sure you see that the most!
@Jeffrey Levy – at the time of this poll, Steve was only able to give me an estimate between 50-100 people per poll per week. We are working on gathering that info better.
