For years, WisDOT has experienced high attrition and vacancy rates due to downsizing, employee turnover, hiring freezes, and retirement. In light of the potential loss of core technical strengths and institutional knowledge, WisDOT needs to be proactive in developing their workforce capabilities to effectively counter the existing risks and better position itself to prepare for the rapid changes in transportation industry and profession. This initiative is expected to be a multi-phased effort that will include both a division focus, and department-level effort.
