Navy Reserve Health of the Force Survey

The Navy Reserve Health of the Force Survey is a strategic level engagement survey of the Navy Reserve population that addresses core measures relating to the health of the force. The core survey questions support trend analysis on the following metrics: (1) Career plans and influences to stay or leave; (2) Stress, command morale, work/life balance, leadership as well as validated metrics for burnout and workplace incivility; (3) Health of the Force Metrics: connectedness, cohesion, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, trust, and inclusion; (4) Diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Navy. The Reserve survey also includes questions about Reserve specific issues including reasons for joining the Reserves and experiences during drill weekends and while mobilized. There is no other Navy sponsored survey that captures data on the experiences of the Navy Reserve population. The results of the survey enable the Chief of Navy Reserves to assess the effectiveness of existing programs and policies and inform reports to the Vice Chief of Naval Operations and Congress. This survey is conducted under the authority of the Chief of Navy Reserves, in coordination with OPNAV N1, Chief of Navy Personnel.
