I find it interesting how polls like these continue to treat each of the military branches almost as separate Departments. They posted a note in small text below the polls. Looking very much like an afterthought or an inconsequential footnote, it reads:
A word of caution, “make certain that you are NOT measuring apples and oranges” requires significant number crunching/data manipulation to insure that the numbers truly mean what they appear to be saying
My agency is at the bottom of the list…again! I hope that this will serve as a wake up call for leadership as, but I can’t say that I’m optimistic about our prospects for improving morale or engagement, but I’m going to do all I can to do my part and stop whining. Stay tuned for a new “Wellbeing” survey in early 2013.
David, I wouldn’t be surprised if they used to do this poll without separating the military branches and people complained, wanted to know which branch was “best”– perhaps a point of pride for Navy?
IMO interesting list especially when comparing it with the public sector list
