Argonne Director Peter Littlewood and Chief Operations Officer Paul Kearns will host a presentation of Climate Survey findings specific to Mission Support Friday, June 24, 2016, at 10 a.m. in the Building 402 Auditorium.

The “What’s Next” survey, held in fall 2015, used a variety of questions to measure employees’ engagement with the lab and their assessment of Argonne as collaborative, diverse and inclusive. There was a high response rate from Mission Support employees, providing a sound basis for recommendations to guide the laboratory on its journey toward greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The presentation is open to all employees whose schedules permit.
