What do you find has the greatest positive or negative impact on Command Climate Surveys?

When a Command Climate Survey becomes "go home criteria" on Friday at 1600, you can expect a lot of straight lines on the answer sheets....

I like that you can select questions directly dealing with issues you know the units had. Overall I think it improves climate. When I took command that was big seeing I knew there has previously been a suicide and sexual assault issues. I find junior enlisted soldiers have no problem telling you the good bad an ugly on an anonymous survey. My 1sg and I gathered the unit up and went over the results and had a very constructive sensing session for about an hour. I had another one to reevaluate my initial one from when I took command. I reused questions with a lot of feedback from the initial to check progress and added some based on the short answer comments on the last page. There's always going to be those soldiers that don't take it seriously, but there were good concerns brought up that were pretty quick fixes , i.e.; no religious services after the Chaplain retired, totally wasn't something I even thought about for months and it was an easy fix to get interested Soldiers a bible study in the mean time. I like the feedback personally.

I have seen a lot of these during my career from unit all the way up to Air Force level and what it boils down to is who is it going to. The ones I have done in my unit I have seen the change but the higher up it goes the less we see the change.
