Passing data from Controller to View with CodeIgniter

I'm having difficulty with display data from the db to dropdown.

This is what I have tried:

form_model.php

function getEmployee()
 {
    $this->db->select('username');
    $query = $this->db->get('tbl_usrs');

    return $query->result();
 }

form_controller.php

public function evaluate()
{
    $data['employee'] = $this->form_model->getEmployee();
    $this->load->view('evaluate_view');
}

evaluate_view.php

<select class="form-control">
   <?php
       foreach($employee as $row)
       {
         echo '<option value="'.$row->username.'">'.$row->username.'</option>';
       }
   ?>
 </select>

It's giving me an error saying I have an unidentified variable employee in my view file. I've seen problems relating to this but so far all their solutions didn't work for me.

When you load the view you have to send the data like this:

$this->load->view('evaluate_view', $data);
