Dear DLA Employee:

The DLA Director, Lieutenant General Darrell Williams, requests your participation in the 2018 DLA Culture/Climate Survey. The DLA Culture/Climate Survey is part of our ongoing effort to maintain a high performance culture and enhance our ability to achieve our strategic goals. The survey helps us identify successes and challenges, while also providing DLA employees and leaders the opportunity to engage in thoughtful, data-driven discussions to improve our collective performance.

The DLA Culture/Climate Survey is your opportunity to share your views of DLA’s organizational culture/climate and help us understand how we need to improve. All DLA employees are invited to participate in the 2018 DLA Culture/Climate Survey. Participation in the survey is voluntary and takes 30-45 minutes to complete. You may complete the survey at your work site or at home.

Your privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed throughout this process. Our survey contractor, Denison Consulting, an independent research firm, is administering this survey online.

We encourage all employees to take the survey so everyone’s voice is heard. Your Voice is Our Future!
