The fact you should even ask that question is amazing because it shows such naiveté. Of course the organization itself cannot be trusted. No organization can be when it is either investigating itself, or wanting to find out the true opinions of its members. That's why any credible organization that is trying to get to the truth will ONLY hire an outside agency to conduct the survey as well as allow that outside agency to compile the results. It's also why any credible organization will immediately PUBLISH the results of the survey (no matter how ugly the results are for the organization). That's how trust is built in the survey and in its results. How DALPA has done it...is not. Cue the apologists now who will scream that it would be playing right into management's hands and that's why we can't release the results...3 - 2 - 1.....

Correct. No organization can be when investigating or surveying itself.

There is no other credible way. As far as my honesty goes, it has nothing to do with honesty. The practice of not investigation and/or surveying yourself is a long standing practice that I sure didn't invent.
