The Culture Assessment Survey is designed to (1) collect information about the current climate to create a baseline and (2) identify potential obstacles. The voluntary Culture Assessment Survey focuses on the Space Force Values and Cultural Attributes and the questions ask whether the workforce is familiar with these values and cultural attributes and if there are barriers to achieving them. Booz Allen has been contracted to aggregate survey results to allow for anonymity. Booz Allen will highlight themes from the aggregated data and provide recommendations ( e.g. job aids, branding, communications) to PEO leadership to help them achieve their desired culture.

Number of Respondents: 866.

Annual Responses: 866.

Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.

Description: The SDACP & BMC³ Culture Assessment Survey co-sponsors (Deputy Program Executive Officers) will send an email to the workforce requesting they complete the voluntary survey, and this email will include the link to the survey, which is hosted on the web-based interface SurveyMonkey. The survey captures questions pertaining to participant demographics ( e.g., location), Space Force values and cultural attributes, and organizational change management. Participants will submit their responses electronically and anonymously.
