Quarterly data reported
Q2 2023
What we learned from this quarter's data:
This quarters’ Customer Satisfaction data showed that users of CareerOneStop are still satisfied with the information the website provides. What matters to our customers is that information supplied by CareerOneStop is focused on providing local information regarding employment, training, and employment/training services. We still realize that newer customers may have a difficult time understanding the interface since it has not been revised. The touchpoint survey was paused on March 13th to revise the questions for improved survey data points. A new survey has been developed and will be available soon.

This quarters’ Customer Satisfaction data showed that users of CareerOneStop are very satisfied with the information the website provides. What matters to our customers are the information provided by CareerOneStop is focused on providing local information regarding employment, training, and employment/training services. Although the data do not show a “pain point”, anecdotally we know newer customers may have a difficult time understanding the interface since it has not been revised in roughly 10 years, but once they use the website they understand the logic behind the interface.

Accessing Career Services at an American Job Center
Description
More than 13 million job seekers sought assistance from a network of approximately 2,400 American Job Centers across the country. Nationwide, there are over 636,000 apprentices.
Description
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) assures safe and healthful working conditions by setting and enforcing standards. OSHA’s Federal and state health inspectors ensure the health and safety of more than 130 million workers. In 2019, OSHA administered 33,393 Federal inspections and 42,603 State Plan inspections.
Designated Services
- Applying for VPP recognition for exemplary safety systems
- Seeking reapproval for maintaining VPP-level safety systems
Previously-reported Services
Applying for VPP recognition for exemplary safety systems
Description
The Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) recognize employers and workers in the private industry and federal agencies who manage exemplary safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective industries. In VPP, management, labor, and OSHA work cooperatively and proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through a system focused on: hazard prevention and control; worksite analysis; training; and management commitment and worker involvement. To participate, employers must submit an application to OSHA and undergo a rigorous on-site evaluation by a team of safety and health professionals. OSHA verifies the safety and health program status at worksites to ensure they meet VPP safety and health standards. Union support is required for applicants represented by a bargaining unit. Once recognized as a VPP site, an employer is allowed to fly the VPP flag and use the logo on its website, highlighting their achievement. In addition, VPP participants are exempt from OSHA programmed inspections as long as they maintain their VPP status.
Why this service was designated
OSHA selected the Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) for priority designation as it is OSHA’s premier recognition program for employers and employees who implement effective workplace safety and health management systems. Every year just under 100 applicants will seek VPP status. There are currently just over 1200 companies in Federal VPP representing more than 1 million workers. However, by learning from applicants and building OSHA’s understanding through direct feedback mechanisms, OSHA can improve the VPP application to increase the number of workplaces that proactively earn this important safety designation.
Quarterly data reported
Q1 2023
What we learned from this quarter's data:
We analyzed the data for Reapprovals for VPP. What we discovered is that there seems to be a relationship between the number of contacts between our Agency and satisfaction of customers. More contact is correlated with higher satisfaction.
However, we discovered that the questions don’t let us discover who initiates contact - whether the participant contacts the Regional VPP Manager, or if the Regional VPP Manager contacts the participants. We may need to modify the questions to determine this.

Seeking reapproval for maintaining VPP-level safety systems
Description
The Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) recognize employers and workers in the private industry and Federal agencies who manage exemplary safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective industries. In VPP, management, labor, and OSHA work cooperatively and proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through a system focused on: hazard prevention and control; worksite analysis; training; and management commitment and worker involvement. For VPP reapproval, ongoing participants are reviewed based on their annual self-evaluations and undergo a rigorous on-site evaluation where OSHA verifies the safety and health program status at worksites to ensure they continue to meet VPP safety and health standards. Almost half of all VPP participants have been in the program for 10 or more years. VPP participants are re-evaluated every three to five years to remain in the programs. If successful, VPP participants are allowed to fly the VPP flag, use the logo on its website, and continue to be exempt from OSHA programmed inspections while they maintain their VPP status.
Why this service was designated
There was no formal mechanism for collecting direct feedback from our customers. There are currently just over 1200 companies in Federal VPP representing more than 1 million workers. Every year approximately 250-300 VPP participants will seek reapproval. Focusing on existing VPP customers allows OSHA to explore customer experience activities with employers and worksites with whom OSHA has collaborative relationships allowing for greater transparency and also allowing OSHA to more quickly move to implement feedback recommendations.
Quarterly data reported
Q2 2023
What we learned from this quarter's data:
Satisfaction remains high, but the time involved to receive a reapproval remains an issue. Many respondents take the time time to specifically mention the relationship with their OSHA on-site Team Leader. This indicates to us that the relationship is held in high regard. We will continue to address the time issue moving forward. OSHA provided a post-transaction customer feedback survey to 8 customers who are applying for the VPP program and did not receive a response.

Applying for compensation benefits under EEOICP
Description
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) provides lump-sum compensation to benefits to claimants accepted under the EEOICPA. Claimants include employees (or their survivors) of the Department of Energy (DOE), its predecessor agencies, contractors/subcontractors, and uranium miners, millers, and ore transporters as defined by RECA Section 5, who became ill as a result of exposure to radiation and/or other toxic substances as authorized by the EEOICPA. It includes two separate benefit programs: Part B and Part E.
Why this service was designated
The Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) protects the interests of specified workers who became ill due to radiological or toxic exposures received while working at covered facilities, or their survivors, by making timely, appropriate, and accurate decisions on EEOICPA claims for new condition(s) or lump-sum benefit claims and providing prompt payment to eligible claimants. In FY 2022, DEEOIC issued 21,533 final decisions and distributed $663,994,437 in lump-sum compensation benefits. From inception thru FY22, DEEOIC has paid out $13,836,881,371 in compensation benefits.
Quarterly data reported
Q2 2023
What we learned from this quarter's data:
DEEOIC continues to collect data across multiple touchpoints, having increased from one data collection results in FY22 Q1 to ten results for FY23 Q2, the current reporting quarter. In analyzing this data, it has become clear that customers are overall happier with some interactions than with others. For example, in-person visits to our Resource Centers consistently receive the highest scores, whereas some other interactions, such as using the Energy Document Portal, are receiving lower scores on average. The Outreach and Customer Experience Unit has taken measures to increase customer understanding by developing a webinar to explain the portal and other available tools, and by developing customer-friendly infographics and educational materials. Data continues to show that the “employee interaction” category is a bright spot for customers, and that there are continued pain points in the category of “trust”. In addition to the results reported here, the OXCU team conducted a series of focus groups with customers in order to get more in-depth feedback and also regularly conducts follow up phone interviews with customers who complete surveys and indicate that they’d like to have a further conversation with the team.

In an effort to increase customer trust and transparency, the DEEOIC CX staff conducted a webinar in FY23 Q1 to discuss the Customer Experience Program.
Additional CX efforts included the revision of a customer acknowledgement packet to improve ease and understanding.

Q2 2021
What we learned from this quarter's data:
Touchpoint is incoming customer phone calls to OWCP DEEOIC program district and final adjudication branch offices from stakeholders including claimants, authorized representative or claimant advocate, physician, and other medical providers. See the ““OWCP to OMB question mapping”” tab for how OWCP’s IVR survey maps to the seven OMB questions. This shows that although only the overall satisfaction question maps in a way that can be reported here, the IVR survey does provide information relative to four out of five of the other questions. Reporting for this quarter reflected a very modest decrease in the volume of customers calling the district offices during the performance period ( 37,746 as compared to 38,858 ). The total amount of calls to the district offices and Final Adjudication Branch combined were statistically equal to last quarter. Overall satisfaction results reflect a 9% increase in those very satisfied with their call, and targeted percentages for responses to telephone inquiries were again exceeded. All other data reported for this reporting period was consistent with the report for last quarter.
