reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1213920 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The junior and senior officer surveys informed the SWO community about its members perspective on serving. The vast majority of SWOs enjoy working with junior Sailors, their relationships with their peers, appreciate the amount of challenge in their work, and take pride in the amount of responsibility in their jobs. Conversely, both junior and senior officers are frustrated with the amount of friction caused by administrative tasks, believe work is not equitably distributed, and are displeased with the working hours during shipyard availabilities. Overall, SWOs are content with compensation, educational benefits, the retirement system, and healthcare. On the other hand, SWOs are less satisfied with promotion equity due to performance. Positively, junior officers believe that senior officers show respect toward Sailors with diverse backgrounds.
