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. 🙂
