Are you a recently departed or soon-to-depart fed? Make your voice heard in the Federal Employee Exit Survey!

It is a nonpartisan academic study run by the Accountability and Reform Research Consortium, in partnership with a coalition of organizations, and led by Gary E. Hollibaugh, Jr., Ph.D. The survey, approved by the University of Pittsburgh Institutional Review Board, documents why people are leaving federal service and the potential impacts on government capacity.

It takes about 20 minutes. Participation is voluntary, and your responses are confidential and reported publicly only in aggregate form. No individual responses will be identifiable.

Results will be used in academic research products and policy discussions aimed at strengthening government service.

Please take it, or share it with former colleagues:
