The Postal Service has made engagement a priority because research shows that engaged workers deliver better customer service and have better attendance rates and fewer on-the-job accidents.<\/p>\n<p>The latest survey was conducted in August. More than 197,000 employees participated, down from 226,800 employees who completed the previous survey in May 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Gallup, an international research organization, conducts the survey, which consists of several questions that ask employees to rate their engagement levels on various topics using a scale of 1 to 5. On this year\u2019s survey, the Postal Service\u2019s grand mean score on these questions was 3.29, down from 3.36 last year but up from 3.16 on the first survey in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The latest survey also included a question to determine how many employees are meeting one-on-one with their immediate supervisors to discuss their workplace needs. According to the results, 23 percent of respondents strongly agreed with the statement that they recently had one of these meetings with their supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s Postal Pulse employee survey results show that progress isn\u2019t always a straight line,\u201d said Kelvin Williams, the Postal Service\u2019s employee engagement executive director. \u201cAlthough we experienced a slight decline in the percentage of employees who feel engaged overall, the fact that we mostly held steady during a very challenging time demonstrates the durability of the progress we\u2019ve made since 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Managers and supervisors received their teams\u2019 survey results this week and are now required to share the information with their teams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28638\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/USPS478x275-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/USPS478x275-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/USPS478x275-123x70.jpg 123w, https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/USPS478x275.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USPS News Link &#8211; 10\/21\/20 &#8211; The latest Postal Pulse employee survey results show one-quarter of participants feel engaged, a slight decline from last year but an 8-point increase from the first survey in 2015.
