The survey is the Air Force's principal means for assessing organizational climate and providing actionable feedback to unit leaders. The survey is emailed to all 600,000 Air Force members including Guard, Reserve and civilian personnel through their "email for life" and home station email accounts. The deadline to complete the survey is Nov. 26, while results are scheduled for release in February or March 2009. Survey topics remain similar to previous years' topics and will include questions about trust, both in senior leadership, and immediate supervisor; job characteristics; support for deployment; resources; recognition; general satisfaction and unit performance and characteristics. There are also up to 10 questions customized for each major command. There is also an opportunity for open-ended comments at the end of the survey. The survey is projected to take 15-20 minutes versus previous surveys, which took nearly an hour to complete.
