Climate assessment survey ends soon Published April 24, 2013 By Staff Sgt. Daryl Knee 52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Base employees can still complete the 52nd Fighter Wing Installation Climate Assessment survey until May 3. The anonymous survey, a part of the U.S. Air Force's Equal Opportunity Climate Assessment Program, is an opportunity for submitters to provide quality-of-life feedback directly to wing, group and squadron leadership. "Participation in the survey is important, because it identifies issues or problems that the leaders at the top may not know about," said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jasmine Barnes, 52nd FW Equal Opportunity specialist from Houston. "The results from the survey show an overall snapshot of the health of the organization - the good, the bad, what we need to continue doing, what we need to cut." The questions on the survey are designed to identify trends, either positive or negative. There are 40 questions standard to all assessment surveys and additional questions specific to Spangdahlem. Positive feedback encourages growth, and any negative feedback provides leadership with target areas of improvement. The results of the survey will be compiled and reported to Col. David Julazadeh, 52nd FW commander, in mid May. While anonymous, the survey will record demographic data, participation percentages and user comments to allow Julazadeh to draw conclusion of his base's view on camaraderie, readiness and morale. Some data is also forwarded to higher Air Force agencies for Spangdahlem's input to shape the future of the service. "Don't be fearful of taking the assessment," Barnes said. "This is your opportunity to make things better. Some people think their individual voices aren't heard -- well, this is your chance." To take the survey, visit http://www.famnetuca.net/user/login/login02.cfm. The site is not CAC-enabled, meaning the participant can take the survey from home. However, each squadron has been assigned a unique access code. For assistance in finding the codes, call Barnes at DSN 452-6392 or 06565-61-6392.
