GA Department of Community Supervision
Annual Report FY 2023
Human Resources Toolkit
In an effort to ensure employees are well informed of the resources available to them , the Office of Human Resources commenced “ Tune-Up Tuesdays '' - an initiative whereby employees are sent relevant information on various timely topics on a weekly basis . The topics range from Employee Assistance Program all the way to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act . In doing so , employees remain abreast of critical decisions impacting them and the Department fostering a more informed employee experience .
Employee Engagement
In Fiscal Year 2022 , DCS conducted its second employee survey . A notable takeaway from this survey was that the job satisfaction rate was nearly 80 %. While this is promising information , maintaining and even bettering employee satisfaction was a major focus throughout Fiscal Year 2023 . Focus Groups met throughout the year to address areas of concern : Career Pathways and Management Training . These Focus Groups spent the year researching the appropriate strategic initiatives that will bolster the employee experience and keep DCS an agency where top talent seeks to build a meaningful career .
Ride-Alongs
The most direct way to witness the DCS mission in action is to spend a portion of the day riding alongside a Community Supervision Officer . In doing so , local citizens get to witness field interactions and observe the emotionally demanding yet richly rewarding duties our officers and staff perform . The inverse is also true . DCS staff get the opportunity to engage with community members , educate them on the importance of our role in the criminal justice system , and foster pro-social contact with constituents . In Fiscal Year 2023 , DCS conducted 106 ride-alongs .
Work-life balance is a foremost priority for us as an organization . That is why we do all we can to care for the health , safety , and stability of our employees .
