need help! what are the benefits for doing a command climate assessment survey? (army) we are debating this

Question

please if you know anything about this help me out.

Answer 1

By doing a command climate assessment you get a good understanding of the varying perspectives of your soldiers. It will tell you how things are from their point of view and will quite possibly include things that they don't feel comfortable approaching the chain of command with. Some of the surveys won't say anything of value but overall you can look for trends. Good luck.

Answer 2

The Unit Command Climate Assessment and Survey System (UCCASS) (pronounced yoo-kas) is a PHP based survey script that allows you to create online surveys. Originally designed for organizations to administer Command Climate Assessments (annual surveys), the program can be used to create any type of online survey or questionnaire.
Company commanders (company-level equivalent) will administer the Command Climate Survey as follows:

Within 90 days (Active Army) or 180 days (Army National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve) of assuming command; and

Annually thereafter.

At their discretion company commanders may administer the survey more often and may also use additional survey instruments to assess the unit climate. The survey is voluntary for commanders above company level.

Because this survey is first administered shortly after a change of command, the results should not be seen as a reflection upon the new commander but simply as a starting point for improving the unit's command climate. Results are intended for the company commander only and are not reported up the chain of command.

Answer 3

There are none. They'll read them, but they won't change anything. It's a nice way to kill some time, but in the end it just gives your command knowledge on how to piss you off.

Answer 4

I used to hate taking those things. But it lets the leadership know where everyone stands and people put stuff on there anonymously that they would never know otherwise.
