    Effective communication from organizational leaders isneeded to establish a transparent, positive work environ-

    ment. There is a statistically significant correlation be-tween effective workplace communication and employee

    job satisfaction,1but communicating effectively and mo-

    tivating employees is a challenge for many leaders.In this Best Places to Work in the Federal Government

    snapshot, the Partnership for Public Service and Deloitteconsidered three questions from the Office of Personnel

    Managements (OPM) 2013 Federal Employee ViewpointSurvey to measure employee satisfaction with leadershipcommunication in their agencies. The questions covered

    the communication of goals and priorities, the informa-tion provided to different work units and employee sat-

    isfaction with information they receive regarding what istaking place in the organization.

    Based on employees responses to these questions, acommunications index was created to measure how sat-isfied employees are with information they are receiving

    from their senior leaders and managers. To understandrecent trends, data from the past five years was analyzed.

    Managers promote communication among

    different work units (for example aboutprojects goals needed resources) (Q)

    Our Best Places to Work analysis

    shows that employee satisfactionwith their leaders communication

    is low and has been dropping on av-erage across the federal government.

    The 2013 government-wide lead-

    ership communication index score is50.2 out of 100, indicating that only

    half of the federal workforce is satis-fied with the level of communication

    it is receiving from those in leadershippositions at their agencies. This score

    represents a 3.9 point drop since 2009.From 2009 to 2013, more than 60

    percent of the agencies for which

    data are available registered a de-crease in satisfaction with leadership

    communication.2 This result under-

    scores the need for leaders to focuson improving communication withtheir employees. Overall, the rank-ings on leadership communication

    closely mirror theBest Places to Workindex rankings, highlighting the link

    between leadership communicationand overall employee satisfaction.

    2 Data available for 2009 and 2013 for 56 outof 71 large, mid-size and small agencies.

    The factors behind the leadershipcommunication scores

    Of the three survey questions used tomeasure federal employee satisfac-tion with leadership communication,

    the lowest score was represented by

    the information employees receivefrom management on what is goingon in their organization. Only 44.8

    percent of employees respondedpositively on this question in 2013compared to 48.1 percent in 2009, as

    shown below.In addition, less than half of fed-

    eral employees surveyed throughoutthe federal government are satisfied

    with the extent to which managerspromote communication among workunits. The government-wide score on

    this question dropped from 54.5 per-cent in 2009 to 48.2 percent in 2013.

    At the same time, 57.5 percent be-lieve their managers communicate

    the goals and priorities of the or-ganization, the highest score of thethree questions. The 2013 score,

    however, represents a 2.2 point de-crease from 2009.

    Government trails theprivate sector

    According to data provided by HayGroup, 60 percent of private sec-tor employees are satisfied with

    the information they receive from

    management on what is going onin their organization.3 The govern-ments score on this same question,

    the only one for which there is com-parative data, is 15.2 points lower,highlighting a disparity in satisfac-

    tion with this aspect of leadershipcommunication.

    Agency highlights

    Despite the overall negative trendregarding employee satisfaction

    with leadership communication

    across the government, agency-spe-cific results show wide variations intheir communications index scores.

    The Best Places to Worktrends

    indicate a decline in employee

    satisfaction with leadership

    communication across government,

    a worrisome sign since leadership

    communication can have a

    significant impact on employee

    attitudes toward their jobs and

    workplaces. Leaders should

    take affirmative steps to keep

    employees better informed about

    organizational and work unit goals

    and activities. Increased efforts

    to effectively communicate with

    employees can help improve

    job and workplace satisfaction

    and, ultimately, employee

    commitment and productivity.

    Among large agencies, scores

    range from 68.0 at the National Aero-nautics and Space Administration

    (NASA) compared to only 38.8 per-cent at the Department of HomelandSecurity (DHS). The scores for mid-

    size agencies range from 68.8 percentat the Federal Deposit Insurance

    Corporation (FDIC) to 41.3 percentat the Broadcasting Board of Gover-

    nors (BBG). Among small agencies,the Surface Transportation Board

    has a leadership communicationscore of 75.9, compared to a scoreof only 34.1 at the Office of the U.S.

    Trade Representative.While about half of the agencies

    for which data were available reg-

    istered declines in their leadershipcommunication scores from 2012 to2013, there were several that showedconsiderable improvement. The lead-

    ership communication index scorefor the Office of the Inspector Gen-

    eral in the Department of Commerce,for example, increased by 18.4 points.

    Additionally, the scores for the U.S.International Trade Commission and

    STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO IMPROVE THE IMPACT OF YOUR LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATIONS

    two subcomponents within the De-

    partment of Justicethe CriminalDivision and the Antitrust Division

    all increased by more than 11 points.While there is a tendency in a vol-

    atile and uncertain environment tostifle communications, some agencyleaders resisted this trend during the

    last few years of budget cuts, hiringfreezes and the government shut-

    down by increasing their interactionswith employees. The agencies that

    scored high on leadership commu-nication have tended to be proactive,making a concerted effort to keep

    employees informed and engaged re-garding what is taking place within

    their organizations.

    NASA, for example, hosts a VirtualExecutive Summit that allows Ad-ministrator Charles Bolden to con-nect with employees using online

    tools. This initiative demonstrateshow agency leaders can leverage

    technology to engage in meaningfulinteractions with employees even

    when these employees are based indiverse geographic locations. NASAs

    managers also actively seek employ-

    ee feedback through focus groupand surveys, customizing questions

    based on their immediate relevanceto the agency.

    Summary

    Low levels of employee satisfactionwith leadership communication in2013 go hand-in-hand with lower

    employee satisfaction scores across-the-board. While some agencies

    have prioritized effective leadershipcommunication, government-wide

    satisfaction levels on leadershipcommunication have decreased in

    recent years. Agencies will need tomake a concerted effort to increaseleadership communication in order

    to reverse this negative trend.

    Below are some approaches to consider to improve the effectiveness of lead-ership communication. These approaches are based on actions taken by someof the most improved and best performing agencies that the Partnership for

    Public Service has highlighted over the years in theBest Places to Workrank-ings as well as in the 2013 report by the Partnership and Deloitte, Ten Years

    of theBest Places to Workin the Federal Government Rankings.

    Make communication a consistent priority for leadership

    Establishing effective leadership communication does not happen overnight.

    In order to effectively drive communication, agency leaders must consistentlyfocus on improving and maintaining quality communication, not just engag-

    ing in short-lived initiatives.The FDIC, for example, established leadership communication as a key

    agency priority by launching regular initiatives that put employees directly in

    contact with the agencys leaders on a regular basis. Leaders began holdingquarterly call-ins where employees from around the country can speak directly

    with the agencys chairman. These call-ins are unscripted, allowing employeesto ask any questions they have and obtain answers directly from agency lead-

    ership. The agency also holds both virtual and in-person town hall meetings,creating multiple venues where employees can receive information from seniorleadership.

    Communicate with employees through multiple platforms

    Not all employees prefer to receive and convey information through the same medi-

    um. In order to effectively communicate with all staff, agency leaders should strive tocommunicate with employees through multiple platforms. From more conventional

    means of leadership communication, such as one-on-one discussions and emails, tomore innovative communication methods, such as video conferencing and social me-dia, leaders should leverage a range of platforms to communicate with employees.

    The management at the U.S. Mint, for example, uses multiple communications

    platforms to increase internal communication. While the public affairs office lever-ages electronic communications such as an internal television network and an onlinequestion and answer box, it also provides print-outs of online content in common

    areas to ensure that all employees have access to information from agency leadership.

    Maintain open and direct communication between managers and employees

    Effective communication is only possible when agency leadershipfrom senior lead-

    ers to managersmaintains open, direct lines with employees. Agencies can fosteropen leadership communication in many ways, from holding regular town hall meet-ings and hosting office hours where employees meet directly with leaders, to orga-

    nizing webinars that allow leaders to overcome geographical hurdles and engageemployees located outside agency headquarters.

    The chairman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority demonstrated her com-

    mitment to open communication by holding town hall meetings for all employees,including employees at regional offices across the country. The agency also has putin place regular meetings where leadership shares information and directly solicits

    ideas from employees for improvement. These strategies give employees a direct lineof contact with the agency leadership.

    Implement employee suggestions to convey commitment to communication

    Soliciting employees opinions is an initial step toward improving agency commu-

    nication. Simply collecting these ideas, though, does little to improve satisfaction ifemployees believe agency leadership does not receive and use their feedback. When

    leaders utilize ideas generated by agency staff, however, employees receive a clearmessage that their voice is both heard and valued.

    The Department of Transportation (DOT) launched an online community, Idea-

    Hub, where agency employees can submit and collaborate on ideas to drive inno-vation and change. Once these ideas are refined, they are communicated online toeveryone at the agency and to the individual who originally submitted the idea. Bynot only collecting, but implementing employee ideas and communicating this in-

    formation back to agency staff, DOTs leadership demonstrates that communicationwith employees is taken seriously.

    Consider a holistic framework

    Adopting a strategic approach to improving leadership communication can be an ef-fective way to drive change in an agency. Deloitte outlined four key stages as part of a

    holistic framework to foster effective communication.4First, agencies should assessthe state of communication within the organization, taking stock of employee con-

    cerns and the agencys current communications strategy. This initial assessment al-lows agency leaders to develop goals for improving communication moving forward,possibly including metrics to gauge progress and guidelines for advancing communi-

    cation. After formulating this strategy, the agency can develop and begin using newcommunications channels. Once these strategies are in place, agencies can further

    improve the effectiveness of leadership communication by measuring the successof these new approaches and by revising these strategies as needed based on em-

    ployee feedback. By approaching communication strategically, leaders can moreeffectively and systematically improve leadership communication.
