Abstract:

This report will be of interest to state departments of transportation (DOTs) management and personnel, as well as to other professionals in both the public and private sectors, who deal with the issue of recruitment and retention at the professional level. Work-force issues are at the forefront of discussions occurring within the ranks of public agencies and throughout corporate America. This synthesis contains information culled from survey responses from transportation agencies and selected state employees. Surveys were sent to the 50 states and affiliate members of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and 13 Canadian provinces to assess the various strategies currently in practice, as well as gather data about a variety of agency characteristics. A second survey of state employees in Maryland, Nebraska, and Utah was undertaken in an attempt to validate, in both utility and effectiveness, the strategies identified by the states. This information is combined with and reviews applicable literature to yield a compendium of successful practice, including those that might have the greatest potential for success and implementation in other state and province DOTs.
