| Title | Virginia Department of Transportation bulletin – Special Report on Transforming the Workforce |
| ShortDescription | In this 2007 special report entitled Steps in the Journey, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) employee efforts to modernize the agency’s business. The steps include forming a vision of the role and activities of the DOT, working closely with localities and private partners, reshaping the business, and transforming the workforce. |
| LongDescription | Essential to a successful journey for VDOT is updating skills and changing an organization traditionally in charge of designing, building and maintaining the highway system to developing new business practices for outsourcing construction, operations and maintenance to private-sector partners. Consolidation of operation and an emphasis on outsourcing has resulted in a reduction in workforce and costs, but VDOT administrators know that transforming the workplace is about attracting, developing and retaining the skills needed to keep pace with the future needs of the state’s traveling public, and not simply about how many people are on the payroll. |
