Strategy / Strategy Description
Strategy 7 - Form Focus Groups to develop strategic initiatives for addressing the most prominent areas of concern .
Employee Engagement occurs when people can connect their responsibilities with the organization ' s overall strategic direction . With this connection , people find fulfillment in contributing to the agency ' s mission . Not only does an agency have a responsibility to look out for the well-being of its employees , but a fulfilled workforce is also a more productive workforce . For these reasons , DCS conducted its first Employee Engagement Survey in 2017 , developed strategic initiatives in response to the results , and conducted a new survey in 2022 . The overall results for the recent poll showed minimal improvement in scores ( 70 %) compared to the prior one ( 69 %). To continue growing in this area , our Human Resources Division is forming four focus groups to develop strategic initiatives in the areas that show the greatest need for improvement .
