Climate Survey Action Team
In Spring 2008, OIT participated in the Pulse Plus Survey, which enabled us to understand employee perceptions of the work environment across OIT. Following the survey, senior leaders in OIT assembled a Climate Survey Action Team and charged the team to investigate areas of concern revealed by the survey and provide recommendations to improve the climate across OIT. A crucial step in the team's process was to seek additional insights beyond the survey data directly from OIT employees through focus groups and other feedback mechanisms. As a result, we have a high degree of confidence in our understanding of the issues, and senior leaders join me in fully supporting the recommendations. I join the action team in thanking all who have taken time to provide feedback throughout this process.
On Tuesday this week, the OIT supervisors participated in a very productive discussion of the recommendations generated by the Climate Survey Action Team. The recommendations report is being made available in the OIT internal wiki - Ann will send out the URL in her weekly email, tomorrow. In the coming weeks and months, all OIT supervisors together with the Strategic Leadership Team will begin implementing these recommendations. If you have any comments or feedback on the recommendations, please feel free to contact a member of the Climate Survey Action Team.

And our deep appreciation to our partners in OHR, Susan Rafferty, Mary McDiarmid, and Patty Bales, for their invaluable expertise and guidance in helping the team meet its charge.
