Soldiers to take Military Workplace Survey -- #USArmy Soldiers asked to participate in a workplace survey over the next couple of weeks should take a few minutes to complete it, said #Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno. This volunteer survey is short, and it is important, Odierno said in a letter to #Soldiers selected to participate in the #RANDstudy. This survey is critical to the Armys efforts to monitor its performance over time, and to develop policies that improve the safety of our Soldiers, he said. About 580,000 service members have begun receiving emails or letters inviting them to participate in the first RAND Military Workplace Study, Defense Department officials said. Active and reserve-component members in all military branches and the Coast Guard are being invited to participate. The survey is unprecedented in its scale and will influence policies that affect everyone in the services, defense officials said. The survey is voluntary and confidential. No one at the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) will ever see how an individual service member responds, officials stressed. Survey respondents can forward the survey to their personal email addresses and they can complete it whenever they have an opportunity. The study will help commanders at all levels evaluate current military workplace relations, professionalism and personal safety, officials said. It will have important implications for how the military operates. It can have implications on military training, justice and services. The survey is being conducted independently of the Department of Defense by experts at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation. Results will be presented to President Obama this fall and a full report of the RAND findings will be available to the public in May. | #Army #news: army.mil/article/132681/Soldiers_to_take_Military_Workplace_Survey/ | #ArmyStrong, Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness, #R2C, #Resilience, #SHARP, #SAPRO, #RAND, U.S. Army
