2020 Defense Logistics Agency Culture/Climate Survey

(Draft as of 01/02/20)

Dear DLA Colleague:

DLA’s success depends on its greatest resource…you! The DLA Strategic Plan 2018-2026 highlights People and Culture as foundational, critical elements of everything we do. Our workforce must possess the skills, tools, and supporting culture to meet DLA’s ever changing and challenging mission demands.

The DLA People and Culture Plan (P&CP) is a supplement to our strategic plan and es­tablishes the DLA Culture/Climate Survey as our instrument to measure workforce mission-readiness, leadership engagement, and the supportive organizational culture to build and sustain the elements of the DLA Strategic Plan.

The DLA Culture/Climate Survey provides a confidential mechanism for employees to share feedback on their work environment, resulting in opportunities for DLA employees and leaders to engage in thoughtful, data-driven discussions that lead to informed action and improve our collective performance.

I ask that you set aside time to participate in the 2020 DLA Culture/Climate Survey as part of DLA’s effort to maintain a high performance culture. This is an opportunity for you to share your views of DLA’s organizational culture and climate. Your responses will help us understand where we need to improve our organizational culture and management practices in DLA. Your opinion counts!

Your participation in this survey is voluntary. Whether you receive the survey electronically or by paper, your privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed throughout this process. Our survey contractor, Denison Consulting, will hold your identity confidential and will not provide DLA with your name or any other individually identifying information.

On average, the survey will take about 30-45 minutes to complete and you will be provided duty time for its completion. If you have any questions about the nature of this survey, please contact the DLA Culture Team at culture@dla.mil. If you need technical assistance with the survey or other questions, please contact: DLA2020@denisonculture.com.

Your input is extremely valuable, and input from previous surveys has led to positive steps toward improving DLA’s organizational culture. Thank you for your participation and honest feedback.

Your Voice is Our Future!

Sincerely,

Brad Bunn

Director

DLA Human Resources
