Across the federal government, there's quite a bit of agency-by-agency variation in the number of workers who choose to participate in the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.

Neal is a former chief human capital officer at the Department of Homeland Security. He wrote a column on the subject. He talked with Jared Serbu on Federal Drive with Tom Temin about the types of incentives agencies can and can't offer.
