12/5/2012 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Commanders
across the Air Force will conduct health and welfare inspections
starting Dec. 5 to emphasize an environment of respect, trust and
professionalism in the workplace.
The health and welfare inspection is a tool routinely used by unit commanders, command chiefs, and first sergeants.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III tasked commanders during
the Nov. 28 Wing Commanders Call to examine their work settings and
ensure Airmen at all levels consistently apply standards of
professionalism and respect across the service.
"Over the past months, I've discussed with our commanders, leaders and
supervisors about the importance of pride and performance," said Welsh.
"When Airmen work in a setting that is consistent with our core values
of integrity, service and excellence, they perform with honor and
distinction - they deserve nothing less. Anything short detracts from
that pride and cripples mission effectiveness."
The purpose of this inspection is to reinforce expectations for the
workplace environment, correct deficiencies, and deter conditions that
may be detrimental to good order and discipline. Commanders will look
for and remove unprofessional or inappropriate items that hinder a
professional working environment.
"This is about commanders being commanders," Welsh said. "The underlying
principle for the inspection is our core values, and the bottom line is
that it's the right thing to do."
