Health of the Force (HoF) Survey
Leaders,
Request your assistance in taking this year’s Health of Force (HoF) Survey, and spreading the word for your subordinate commands to do the same. In 2022, our HoF participation rate increased by double of the previous year – this year I hope we can do even better. To help spread the word, I’ve attached the HoF NAVADMIN and supporting Fact Sheet. Next year, we will be able to accelerate the HoF to the Spring to better separate it from the new Annual CCA window.
The following link can be used to access and participate in the survey. The Fact Sheet includes a QR code for those who wish to take the survey on their phone.

Results from HoF and the Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) enable us better understand our Service culture and climate at the organizational level, as well as within specific units, communities, and subsets of personnel. Insights from these surveys provide invaluable insights into how our people are actually doing – a critical component of assessing Navy Quality of Service and ensuring mission readiness. The 2022 HoF survey data is contained in last year’s Health of Force Report, previously forwarded and available at the following link.
In reviewing the data, it is clear that as an organization, we can get better. Taking this survey is a valuable first step – we must have participation at a level to make the data statistically relevant.
Thank you in advance for your leadership and advocacy. Standing by for any questions or concerns.
