Improving Communications Within the Virginia Department of Transportation: Executive Summary: A Report to Assistant Commissioner Albert W. Coates, Jr. and the Employee Communications Task Force
Report No: 87-R11
Published in 1987
About the report
As part of the efforts of an employee task force appointed to seek ways of improving communications within the Virginia Department of Transportation, nine focus group meetings were held for Department employees. Participants were separated into the following groups: division administrators, district engineers, assistant division administrators, resident engineers, central office section heads, district section engineers, area superintendents, central office employees, and field employees. These focus groups met for three to four hours away from Department facilities with specially selected group leaders, following a pre-arranged discussion guide. Owing to demand on their time, directors were interviewed on a one-to-one basis rather than in a group setting. This document summarizes the results of both the focus-group meetings and the director interviews. The full report has been published separately.
