Houston County employees had the opportunity to voice their opinions about their jobs in a 15-question survey sent by the county's Personnel Department.
During the Houston County Commission meeting on Monday, Personnel Director Sheri Garner presented the results, which showed while the vast majority of employees agreed about certain topics, there is room for improvement in other areas.
The first 10 questions were multiple-choice and the last five were open-ended. The questions covered a variety of topics ranging from how employees feel about benefits, work/life balance, work environment, and much more. Another positive takeaway from the survey was 57% or 104 participants said they are happy and have not considered leaving Houston County for a different job.While most of the feedback the county received was positive, there were some areas employees believe the county needs to improve in. One of those areas was pay, as 68 respondents said they are not fairly paid.
"The personnel board and the commission have to absorb those results," Garner said."We have to figure out what we can or cannot do because no matter what the personnel board decides to do, if the money isn't in the bucket, it doesn't matter. This is a joint effort between the personnel board and the commission.""I'm fully committed to funding that wage study," Shoupe said.
