1
00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:03,020
often we come together to celebrate our

2
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:05,609
extraordinary accomplishments but today

3
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:08,160
we're here to celebrate us how we work

00:00:12,650 --> 00:00:10,230
together and the positive feelings that

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:12,660
we have about our work environment this

6
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:15,450
year based on our employees responses to

7
00:00:21,019 --> 00:00:17,359
the Office of Personnel management's

8
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:21,029
2012 employee viewpoint survey NASA was

9
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:22,800
chosen as the best place to work in

10
00:00:27,230 --> 00:00:24,840
federal government NASA headquarters

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:27,240
along with the Stennis Space Center at

12
00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:29,010
the greatest increase in scores and

13
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:31,590
ranking across government NASA

14
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:34,590
headquarters ranked 44th out of 290

15
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:37,350
agency sub components this is up from a

16
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:41,340
rank of 85 out of 290 and 2011 we are

17
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,140
proud that you feel that headquarters is

18
00:00:47,959 --> 00:00:45,840
such a great place to work this year's

19
00:00:50,330 --> 00:00:47,969
rankings at headquarters were up across

20
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:50,340
the board including significant

21
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:52,320

22
00:00:58,010 --> 00:00:55,020

23
00:00:59,930 --> 00:00:58,020

24
00:01:01,700 --> 00:00:59,940
our performance in another key area

25
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:01,710
where you indicated that we have

26
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:04,110
improved substantially and that is in

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:06,900
our leadership scores based on your

28
00:01:11,630 --> 00:01:09,570
input from prior year surveys last year

29
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:11,640
we began work on a supervisory

30
00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:13,950
enhancement initiative to strengthen our

31
00:01:18,289 --> 00:01:15,780

32
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:18,299

33
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:21,210
while this is a multi-year effort we are

34
00:01:25,969 --> 00:01:23,310
already seeing higher scores and

35
00:01:29,149 --> 00:01:25,979

37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:30,960

40
00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:38,220
accomplishment but we've also heard

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:40,920
staff concerns in several areas and will

42
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:43,170
be addressing them so while we celebrate

43
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:45,720
