Who is responsible for advising commanders or leaders on collecting additional data beyond the DEOCS and DOCP?

The Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce (IPPW) is specifically tasked with advising commanders and leaders regarding the collection of additional data to complement the Defense Organizational Climate Surveys (DEOCS and DOCP). This workforce is designed to support units in identifying and addressing climate-related issues, ensuring that commanders have a comprehensive understanding of their organization’s environment. The IPPW plays a crucial role in integrating prevention strategies and data collection methods which go beyond the standard surveys, enabling leaders to gain deeper insights into organizational dynamics and challenges. This is essential for fostering a positive command climate and implementing effective interventions based on thorough analysis.

The other options do not hold this particular responsibility within the context of organizational climate assessments. The senior non-commissioned officer, while a key leader within the unit, focuses primarily on operational and administrative duties rather than data advisory roles. The Commanding General's office oversees broader command functions and may not provide directed advice on data collection. Similarly, the administrative support staff assists with logistical and clerical duties but does not specialize in advisory functions regarding climate assessments and additional data collection needs.
