How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

done We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.
done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    The CGSC Foundation serves the Soldiers, families, faculty, and staff of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The people primarily served by the CGSC Foundation include military personnel, the families (dependents) of military personnel, retired military personnel, and veterans. The CGSC Foundation also serves Department of Defense civilians and non-military/non-government persons.

  • How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

    To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals

  • What significant change resulted from feedback?

    The CGSC Foundation transitioned as many of its programs as possible to virtual attendance (or added a virtual attendance option) in response to U.S. Army mandated safety protocols during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to feedback from attendees and partners, the CGSC Foundation made the decision to continue offering virtual attendance even after guidelines around in-person events were relaxed. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CGSC Foundation noticed a need for increased family programs that allowed for social distancing, and the CGSC Foundation sought out and partnered with community groups to support those affected by the pandemic with COVID-safe family activities.

  • Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

    We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive
