Hillard Heintze will also conduct surveys of agency personnel to analyze the general work environment and how employees perceive they are treated by each other, how management treats employees and how supervisors treat subordinates. The engagement will culminate with the development of comprehensive new training courses for USCIS personnel.

The delivery order was awarded on September 29, 2016 after a competitive bidding process.
