• Abstract:
  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 departmental 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. Because of demands 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's interviews. An executive summary of the report has been published separately.
