00:00:01,558 --> 00:00:03,398
- I am here to ask for your help.

2
00:00:03,398 --> 00:00:05,323
^Since my arrival, I have emphasized

3
00:00:05,323 --> 00:00:07,292
^the importance of communication.

4
00:00:07,292 --> 00:00:09,158
The free flow of information is crucial

5
00:00:09,158 --> 00:00:12,528
to our organizational health and team member satisfaction.

6
00:00:12,528 --> 00:00:15,032
In March, many of you participated

7
00:00:15,032 --> 00:00:17,251
in an organizational climate survey.

8
00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:19,090
I provided an overview of the results

9
00:00:19,090 --> 00:00:21,592
at the agency-wide all-hands in July.

10
00:00:21,592 --> 00:00:25,459
During that global engagement, I listed my areas of concern

11
00:00:25,459 --> 00:00:27,355
and have since directed leaders

12
00:00:27,355 --> 00:00:30,301
to address these challenges through action plans.

13
00:00:30,301 --> 00:00:32,295
I thank you for your participation.

14
00:00:32,295 --> 00:00:34,364
Your open and honest feedback

15
00:00:34,364 --> 00:00:36,448
provided me with a baseline understanding

16
00:00:36,448 --> 00:00:39,300
of the agency's workplace environment.

17
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,172
Today, I ask you once again to complete a climate survey.

18
00:00:43,172 --> 00:00:44,796
After visiting so many of you

19
00:00:44,796 --> 00:00:46,643
during my first few months here,

20
00:00:46,643 --> 00:00:48,960
I have come to understand the wealth of information

21
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,575
and expertise you contribute

22
00:00:50,575 --> 00:00:53,291
to our global war fighter support mission.

23
00:00:53,291 --> 00:00:55,945
I request you deliver that same level of commitment

24
00:00:55,945 --> 00:00:58,244
to our internal support mission

25
00:00:58,244 --> 00:01:00,848
by participating in this survey.

26
00:01:00,848 --> 00:01:03,655
My goal is to provide a stellar working environment

27
00:01:03,655 --> 00:01:06,115
that perpetuates professional development

28
00:01:06,115 --> 00:01:08,247
and reinforces the satisfaction

29
00:01:08,247 --> 00:01:11,219
of serving America's war fighters and taxpayers.

30
00:01:11,219 --> 00:01:13,459
I can only do that with your help.

31
00:01:13,459 --> 00:01:16,224
Please take a few minutes and fill out the survey.

32
00:01:16,224 --> 00:01:18,399
Hopefully, during my short time here,

33
00:01:18,399 --> 00:01:20,270
I have proven that I am willing to listen

34
00:01:20,270 --> 00:01:22,723
and truly care about your opinions.

35
00:01:22,723 --> 00:01:25,261
Together we can develop a working environment

36
00:01:25,261 --> 00:01:28,514
we can all enjoy and thrive in professionally.

37
00:01:28,514 --> 00:01:30,514
Thank you for your time.
