Yes, it's here again. We consider that issues around reward and recognition are important and we would like to get more input from you on what we need to do to improve these areas.

Air Force exit surveys and the 2001 Attitude Survey indicate that two of the strongest dissatisfiers for people in the Air Force and those leaving the Air Force are limited promotion prospects and limited career development.

How is this connected to reward and recognition? Promotion and opportunities for training are two ways that we reward our people for their work and commitment to the organisation. Our people are dissatisfied with the way that we are managing this system, how can we do this better? Is this the only way that we reward or recognise people and their work? Do you think that dissatisfaction with our promotion and career development system would decrease if people were being recognised or rewarded for their efforts in other ways?

Remember, there are positives about the way we do our business as well. We are eager to hear your positive comments as well as your comments on those areas that need to be changed and improved.
