What impact does a 2.0 trait grade in Organizational Climate / Equal Opportunity have on a sailor's promotion recommendation?

A 2.0 trait grade in Organizational Climate / Equal Opportunity indicates a significant shortfall in performance in this critical area, which is essential for sustaining a respectful and effective work environment. The Navy's evaluation system values attributes like teamwork, respect for diversity, and the ability to foster an inclusive organizational climate. A low score reflects negatively on a sailor's overall professionalism and could signal potential issues in leadership or in creating a positive environment for their peers and subordinates.

Consequently, a promotion recommendation cannot be Promotable or higher with a 2.0 rating, as it fails to meet the minimum expectations for leadership and organizational effectiveness required for advancement. This policy is in place to ensure that only those individuals who demonstrate a commitment to fostering an equitable and supportive workplace are considered for promotion, thus maintaining standards across the fleet.
