B-165959 SEPTEMBER 28,1952 The Honorable Geraldine A. Ferraro Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Human Resources Committee on Post Office and Civil Service House of Representatives 119732 Dear Madam Chairwoman: Subject: Programs to Help Displaced Federal Civilian Employees Obtain Employment (GAO/FPCD-82-75) As requested by you on December 8, 1981, we are providing the results of our evaluation of job placement programs available to Federal employees who are affected by reductions-in-force (RIFs). We provided you the preliminary results of our review on April 19, 1982. OBJECTIVE, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY The objective of this review was to survey Federal employees affected by RIFs to get their views on placement assistance received and the effects of RIFs on their morale and productivity. We per- formed our review in accordance with our office's current Standards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities and Functions. We used a questionnaire to survey a statistically valid sample of about 700 of 6,000 Federal employees from 14 departments and agen- cies who received specific RIF notices 1/ effective in fiscal year 1981. About 500 individuals responded. At the time they respond- ed, a median of 7 months had elapsed since the effective dates of the notices. The questionnaire covered several topics, including the effects of receiving a general RIF notice 2/ on employees' morale 1/A specific RIF notice informs employees that a RIF action is necessary and states specifically how they will be affected. 2/A general RIF notice informs employees that a RIF action may be necessary, but that the agency has not determined a specific action in their case.
