Survey: DoM Strategic Plan Refresh
 

As we undergo a refresh of our strategic plan, Forward Together – which will steer our department for the next five years – your input will be invaluable in helping us understand what’s working well, what we could improve, and where we should focus next.


With your feedback, we'll be able to reflect your experience in the refresh and align it with the evolving needs of the department, so filling out this survey will be a significant opportunity for you to shape the future of your work and the DoM’s long-term success.


This survey is divided by topic in relation to our current strategic plan and will take about 10-15 minutes in total to complete. Every response matters, and we wholeheartedly welcome your honest input.
