County Workers Aren’t Happy

Item: County workers give mix of results: Employee surveys show a few trouble spots/Jeff Selle, Press

More Info: Kootenai County employees tend to like working in their own departments, but they are more negative toward the county government as a whole. That was the general consensus of 530 county employees that participated in a government-wide opinion survey that was released to elected officials on Thursday. Kootenai County Commissioners hired LMM Leadership Group to assess the county's Human Resources Department earlier this year, before replacing an empty Human Resource Director position, said Commissioner Todd Tondee. "We asked them to tell us what kind of HR positions we needed," he said. "This is what they recommended to start the process."

Question: Would you rate your boss and place of employment high?
