OMB CONTROL NUMBER: 0702-RDAP

OMB EXPIRATION DATE: XX/XX/XXXX

Dear ARDAP Colleague:

ARDAP’s success depends on its greatest resource…you! Our workforce must possess the skills, tools, and supporting culture to meet ARDAP’s ever changing and challenging missions and its leadership’s job to make sure you have everything you need. To do that, we are implementing this annual Climate Survey.

The ARDAP Climate Survey is our instrument to measure workforce mission-readiness, leadership engagement, and the supportive organizational culture to build and sustain ARDAP’s strategic goals.

The ARDAP Climate Survey provides a confidential mechanism for employees to share feedback on your work environment, resulting in opportunities for you and our leaders to engage in thoughtful, data-driven discussions that lead to informed action and improve our collective performance. Your responses will help us understand where we need to improve our organizational culture and management practices. Your opinion counts!

Your participation in this survey is voluntary. Your privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed throughout this process. The milSuite survey tool will hold your identity confidential and will not provide ARDAP with your name or any other individually identifying information.

On average, the survey will take about 30 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 Survey Team at Christine Kluk at [email protected] or Desserrae Stephens at [email protected]. If you need technical assistance with the survey or other questions, please contact [email protected].

Your input is extremely valuable and will help ARDAP’s organizational culture. Thank you for your participation and honest feedback.

Your Voice is Our Future!
