L. 108- 136, 5 U.S.C. 7101 note) requires executive agencies to survey their workforce annually on topics including performance management, leadership and organizational alignment, workplace culture and employee experience. This Playbook is designed to help agencies meet those requirements from initial planning through data submission regardless of agency size, survey maturity, or available resources.  \nThe Playbook addresses the full survey lifecycle: eligibility and governance decisions, platform selection, survey design, administration, response monitoring, post-survey reporting, and U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data submission. Agencies may use sections independently or as a whole, depending on where they are in the planning process.  \nThroughout, the Playbook highlights cost-efficient approaches, opportunities to use existing internal resources, and practical recommendations drawn from survey research and federal practice.  \nTable of Contents  \nSuggested Survey Timeline ............................................................................................3  \n1.
