Morale and engagement among managers and members of the Senior Executive Service are at a five-year low, according to the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. And more than half of federal employees at GS-14 and 15 tell Federal News Radio, they're not interested in joining the SES if they had the chance. But that's not the case for many rising leaders at the African-American Federal Executive Association's SES training workshop. Case in point: Shireen Dodson, the first full-time ombudsman at the State Department and a member of the SES. She tells Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko there's still plenty of interest in joining the SES.

Engagement and commitment scores for agency senior executives are at nearly 82 percent. But for employees it's just 60 percent. That's according to an analysis of the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey and Best Places to Work data from the Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte. Of the respondents, 79 percent of SES members said promotions at their agencies are based on merit. Just 30 percent of other employees agreed. Bob Tobias is a professor for the Key Executive Leadership Program at American University. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose that senior managers don't understand what their employees think of them.

A bill that makes it easier for the Veterans Affairs Secretary to fire senior executives could extend to all other employees at the department. The probationary period for new employees would also get longer -- from 12 to 18 months. House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller says too few people at the department have been held accountable for the patient wait time scandal that emerged into public view last year -- nor for other management failings at VA. The VA Accountability Act of 2015 cleared the committee earlier this week. It will likely go to a full House vote during the last week in July. Carol Bonosaro is the president of the Senior Executives Association, which drafted a letter to Congress this week raising several objections to the bill. She tells In Depth guest host Jared Serbu about the differences between this bill, and a similar one introduced in Congress last year.

Members of the Senior Executive Service report much higher satisfaction at their agencies than the employees who work for them, according to a new report.

When you dig into the numbers, you find something odd: Big differences between the viewpoints of rank-and-file federal employees and those in the Senior Executive Service.
