5: Employment Environment

Create a motivating and challenging work environment for employees

Other Information:

People are a critical success factor in every organization. FEMA is committed to retaining, training, and motivating its existing workforce, while recruiting and developing new employees to secure the Agency’s future. FEMA’s people will in turn take responsibility for making the most of the opportunities available to them, will know what is expected of them, and will perform where and when the Nation needs them most. A key element of the Strategic Plan—and one that came from FEMA's own employees—is the Core Values that define how they will carry out FEMA's Mission. Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, Respect, Trust, and Compassion define employee performance toward each other, and toward FEMA's customers and partners.
