SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DoD 

Civilian Employee Workplace and 

Gender Relations Survey (WGRC) will 

assess the attitudes and opinions of DoD 

civilian employees on gender issues 

including their experiences of and the 

climate surrounding sexual harassment, 

gender discrimination, and unwanted 

sexual contact in the DoD civilian 

workplace. These indicators provide 

primary data on estimated prevalence 

rates of unwanted gender-related 

experiences and historically provide the 

ability to evaluate the impact of policies 

and programs with regard to DoD 

civilian employees. The surveys are 

benchmarks by which senior DoD 

officials can track trends over time. 

All Workplace and Gender Relations 

surveys are Congressionally-mandated 

to estimate rates of gender-based 

assaults, assess the effectiveness of 

policies and programming to prevent 

sexual harassment and sexual assault, 

and assess the overall gender relations 

climate within the Department in 

accordance with 10 U.S.C. 481. 

Historically, these surveys have been 

conducted with military members only, 

with the first congressionally mandated 

Workplace and Gender Relations survey 

conducted in 2002 for active-duty 

service members and 2004 for Reserve 

component members. Section 1073 of 

the FY 2015 NDAA extended this 

requirement to DoD Civilian employees 

as well, including an amendment that 

inserted Section 481a into 10 U.S.C. 481 

outlining the survey requirement. The 

first administration of the WGRC was in 

FY 2016 per these statutory 

requirements and was administered to 

appropriated fund (APF) civilian 

employees only. The second 

administration of the WGRC was in 

2018 and expanded the target 

population to include nonappropriated 

fund (NAF) civilian employees. 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Department of Defense Civilian 

Employee Workplace and Gender 

Relations Survey; OMB Control Number 

0704–0614. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Number of Respondents: 91,286. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 91,286. 

Average Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 45,643. 

Needs and Uses: The WGRC fulfills 

the Congressional mandate outlined in 

10 U.S.C. 481a for a biennial survey 

assessment of gender relations in the 

DoD civilian workplace. The mandate 

requires that the survey (1) provides 

indicators of positive and negative 

trends for professional and personal 

relationships between male and female 

employees; (2) estimates the prevalence 

of unwanted gender-related behaviors 

for DoD civilian employees within the 

preceding fiscal year; (3) examines the 

effectiveness of policies designed to 

improve professional relationships 

between male and female employees; 

and (4) examines the effectiveness of 

current processes for complaints and 

investigations concerning unwanted 

gender-related behaviors, including 

sexual assault, sexual harassment, and 

gender discrimination. The legal 

requirements for the WGRC can be 

found in the following: 

• FY15 NDAA, Section 1073. 

• 10 U.S.C. 481a. 

• 10 U.S.C. 136. 

• 10 U.S.C. 2358. 

• Public Law (Pub. L.) 111–383, 

Sections 1602 and 1631; 113–291, 

Section 1073. 

These legal requirements mandate 

that the WGRC solicit information on 

gender issues, including issues relating 

to sexual assault, sexual harassment, 

and gender discrimination, as well as 

the climate in the Department for 

forming professional relationships 

between male and female employees. 

They also give the Department authority 

to conduct such surveys under the 

guidance of the USD(P&R). 

Overall, the results of the survey will 

assess progress, identify shortfalls, and 

revise policies and programs as needed 

related to issues directly affecting DoD 

civilian employees. Data from this 

survey will be presented to the 

OUSD(P&R), and DoD policy and 

program offices to assess and improve 

policies, programs, practices, and 

training related to gender relations in 

the DoD informed by current and 

statistically reliable information. 

Analysis will include OPA’s standard 

products: a results and trends report (a 

set of relative frequency distributions of 

each question, and cross-tabulations of 

survey questions by key stratifying 

variables), briefing slides, reports 

highlighting key findings, and a 

statistical methodology report. Ad hoc 

analyses requested by the policy office 

sponsors and other approved 

organizations may be conducted as 

needed and based on available staff. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Biennially. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet 

Seehra.
