Values Survey Initiatives 2005/06:

The results from the 2005/06 Values Survey show that employees in the one-to-five year category are less satisfied than the other groups who participated. Based on the Values Survey data, the Balanced Scorecard Planning Council chose this “opportunity for improvement”; the ultimate goal: to improve the Values Survey results for the one-to-five year employees.

The Core Team conducted several focus groups involving employees in the four different categories: employed less than a year, one-to-five years, five-to-ten years, and over ten years. Using feedback received from the focus groups, the Core Team formulated recommendations to improve levels of employee satisfaction.  After discussions with the members of the Balanced Scorecard Planning Council, the Core Team focused on the following four initiatives:

Initiatives:

• Alternate Work Schedules 
• Gossip Free Workplace and Conflict Resolution
  • "If You Can't Say Something Nice, What Do You Say" a constructive conversation and conflict resolution workshop for managers and staff.
• Leadership Development
  • In-Progress: Leadership Academy
