More than half of the current Berkeley city employees surveyed started looking for another job in the past year.
The city of Berkeley has a people problem.
In a survey of 771 Berkeley employees, the audit reported that only 44% of the respondents felt their workload was manageable, while just 55% said they were satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their job; that job satisfaction rate is lower than the 73% polled from federal government agencies. While the pandemic and Great Resignation contributed to challenges retaining workers across all sectors, Wong said they are not solely responsible for Berkeley’s citywide woes.
Dissatisfied employees cited issues related to workloads, outdated internal systems, limited professional development opportunities, pay and inadequate support and communication from city management. In 2018, it took an average of 4.9 months to hire new employees. By 2022, that timeline increased to 7.7 months.
