Abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) leads Federal agencies in shaping human resources management (HRM) systems to effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a high quality and diverse workforce. We need to solicit input from our customers to measure our performance in providing services that are citizen-centered, results-oriented and market-based. Performance surveys are valuable tools to gather information about our customers' view of our performance so we can design and implement new ways to improve our service to meet their needs. Our customers include the general public, Federal benefit recipients, Federal agencies and Federal employees. This meets all requirements for Executive Order 12862 and OMB Memorandum 93-14.

Short Statement: Three new surveys are being added to this collection: The Leadership for Inclusion Survey (L4I), the Leadership for Engagement Survey (L4E), and the DEIA Pulse Survey. For the remaining three surveys, the following updates have been made: The OPM Leadership 360™ survey content was reviewed and some changes were made, including refreshing some items to update the language and/or better reflect current terminology, revamping the response scale in an effort to increase response variance, and changing some item language to make it more gender neutral (e.g., updated language such as “he or she” to “they”). For the Leadership Potential Assessment, some item language was changed to make it more gender neutral (e.g., updated language such as “he or she” to “they”). Minor changes were also made to the instructions of the Leadership Profiler to match our new survey platform. None of the above updates constitute any significant change in hourly burden, which is why they have remained the same. However, due to inflation and rise in cost since the last request for approval, some program adjustments have been necessitated and reflected in the cost burden.
