OHR Climate Survey

As a member of the Office of Human Resources (OHR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), you are invited to take part in the 2017 OHR Climate Survey.  Your feedback is extremely important, and will be used to better your experience as an employee or contractor of OHR.

The survey will take about 5-10 minutes to complete and your input will remain anonymous. Responses will be compiled and summarized by the Survey Team in HR Systems, Analytics, and Information Division, and aggregate reports will be provided to the OHR Leadership Team. Please note that although responses to the open-ended questions at the end of the survey will be reported, your name will not be attached to your responses.  However, if you include personally identifying information or characteristics in open text response(s), the anonymity of your information may be compromised. 

Please only submit one response. If you need to finish the survey in another session, use the “save and continue later” feature found on the top of the screen.

By completing this survey, you are helping to make OHR a stronger, more effective organization!

If you encounter technical difficulties with the survey please contact: http://intrahr.od.nih.gov/helpdeskform.htm

NOTES: Text in purple box represent survey logic. It will not be visible to respondents.

Contractors will take an abbreviated version of the survey. Questions highlighted in yellow are ones available to contractors. Respondents will take the survey electronically and survey logic has been set up so that contractor respondents will only see the questions available to them.
