FY2011 SES Survey Results

Page 1

Executive Summary

In mid-2011, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) surveyed all career, non-career
and limited term Senior Executive Service (SES) members. 1 The survey was designed to gather
information about the strengths and challenges in the SES, from the perspective of its current
members, and received a 65% response rate from eligible executives.
The 2011 SES survey results indicate the following findings:
Pride in SES and Accountability for Results - An overwhelming majority of
executives: take pride in being members of the SES (94%); feel a great deal of personal
accomplishment (93%); and feel they are held accountable for achieving results (92%).
Long Career Tenure and Experience - A majority of the respondents: were appointed
to the SES from a Civil Service position (86%); have worked for the Federal Government
for more than 20 years (64%); have been an SES member for 1 to 10 years (72%); and
will be retiring within 1 to 5 years (57%).
Developmental Opportunities - The survey indicates the majority of executives feel
their developmental needs are met (70%) and take advantage of developmental
opportunities (77%). Significantly more executives in 2011 are engaging in a variety of
developmental activities compared to 2008, including a 360-type assessment (a 15%
increase), developmental advice from a mentor (a 9% increase) and formal executive
coaching (a 12% increase).
Continued Challenges in Dealing with Poor Performers - Respondents indicated they
feel agencies struggle to deal effectively with poor performing executives (only 28% feel
their agency deals effectively with executives who perform poorly).
Mixed Review of Pay for Performance - While most executives believe SES pay
should be based on performance (92%), a much smaller percentage of executives believe
pay for performance promotes better organizational performance (43%).
Decline in Satisfaction with Pay and Recognition - The percentage of positive
responses to questions regarding executive pay, awards, and recognition were
significantly lower in 2011 than in 2008, which is unsurprising given the Federal pay
freeze.
These findings capture some of the core strengths and challenges facing todays Senior
Executive Service. The Presidents Management Council and the Chief Human Capital Officers
Council launched an initiative in 2010 to further strengthen the SES, through which interagency
working groups identified potential improvements and created a range of projects to implement
those recommendations. In 2012, with these efforts fully in place, Federal agencies will continue
to address many of the issues identified in the 2011 SES survey to further enhance executive
recruitment, performance management, and career development.

Similar to the approach OPM took in administering the 2008 SES survey which may be
viewed on OPMs web site at http://www.opm.gov/surveys/results/index.asp OPM again
surveyed all career, non-career, and limited term SES members, this time as of March 31, 2011,
resulting in a total eligible sample size of 7,677. Administration of the survey began on August
10, 2011, and continued through September 9, 2011. A total of 4,954 respondents completed the
survey, for an overall response rate of 65 percent.

Background
Purpose: The 2011 Senior Executive Service (SES) Survey was designed to support the
initiatives of the President's Management Council (PMC) focusing on revitalizing the SES corps
through improvements and innovations to the hiring, performance management, and career
development of SES members. The results of the 2011 SES survey will further inform efforts to
enhance the success of the SES.
The 2011 survey is a follow-up to the 2008 SES Survey, and includes many of the same
questions from the 2008 survey, in order to collect longitudinal data on key issues regarding the
SES (the results of the 2008 SES survey can be viewed on OPMs web site at
http://www.opm.gov/surveys/results/index.asp). The 2011 survey also includes a few additional
questions to obtain information relevant to current issues of emphasis, including areas on which
the PMC SES Initiative has focused.
Methodology: Similar to the 2008 survey, OPM surveyed all career, non-career, and limited
term SES members as of March 31, 2011. The SES survey was emailed to a total eligible sample
size of 7,677. Administration of the survey began on August 10, 2011, and continued through
September 9, 2011. A total of 4,954 completed the survey for an overall response rate of 65
percent. (See Appendix 1 for response rates per agency.)

Most of the recruitment and appointment survey questions were new to the 2011 SES survey, so
comparison data with the 2008 survey is limited. The most significant difference between 2008
and 2011 recruitment and appointment questions showed an increase of 3.3 percent of SES
members reported they had been a member of the SES for less than one year (Q.3).

FY2011 SES Survey Results

Demographics
The majority of SES respondents are between 50 and 59 years of age (52%, Q.79). The majority
of SES respondents have been with the Federal Government (excluding military service) for
more than 20 years (64%, Q.78). Fifty-four percent of career respondents have less than 6 years
in the SES and about a third have less than 4 years (32%, Q.3).

Expected turnover in SES ranks. The survey indicates the likelihood of high turnover among
the senior ranks in the near future. Thirty-six percent of career respondents plan to leave in the
next three years, and 56 percent plan to leave in the next five years (Q.80).

Nature of Work. The majority of SES respondents reported they consider 46 percent or more of
their current work to be leadership or managerial in nature (53%, Q.77b). Only a quarter of the
respondents consider their work to be more than 45% technical/professional nature (Q.77a). The
majority) of SES respondents manage 1 to 200 employees (67%, Q.75). Over 44 percent of
executives manage a total budget of $1 million to $100 million (Q.76).

Mobility of SES Members. The following three charts show that most SES members have not
changed jobs either within or outside their agencies since becoming an SES. In addition, the
survey indicates SES members moved more often to different jobs and/or locations before they
became SES members than after becoming SES members (Q4. and Q.5). The charts also show
that changes in job occur mostly within an agency (rather than by changing agencies) (Q.4 and
Q.5).
