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.
