The Defence Research Program is not large enough to employ narrow specialists. The typical work group therefore consists of a small interdependent multi-disciplinary team. This provides a stimulating and social work environment and the satisfaction which results from team accomplishments as well as individual successes. The supervision supplied is intended to be supportive, communicative and committed to employee participation and development as part of the overall process of meeting program and project objectives. The objective is therefore to provide a work environment which is conducive to employee achievement.
