REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
In 2001, employee committees sent out a survey to all Public Works employees. The purpose of the survey was to
identify issues within the Public Works Department that may need more attention or improvement. Each of the
committees determined specific issues,goals and recommendations for Public Work's Administration. One of the
recommendations was for management to receive leadership and communication skills training.
In 2002, the Department contracted with a consultant, Donn Hatcher to assist us with this process and develop
customized training for management. The training topics were directly related to the issues that the Department
identified for improvement.
In 2003/04 approximately 50 management staff received this training. We found the training to be so successful that
we are contracting with Donn Hatcher again to provide the training to new managers and those managers that were
not able to attend the first training. We also have approximately five available spots in the training,which will be
filled by managers from the Building Inspection and Community Development Departments.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Public Works Department management team will not receive training in the specific areas that were identified.
