Employee Survey Report

The 2007 United States International Boundary and Water Commissioner (USIBWC) Employee Survey report is posted here. The survey was conducted Agency-wide using a survey exam that employees submitted through email or regular internal mail. A total of 51% of employees responded to the survey. The results revealed that a majority of employees were generally satisfied with personal work experiences and recruitment. However, the weakest areas of the Agency that show the need for improvement include Leadership, Communications, and overall Performance Culture. The USIBWC is taking steps to ensure that these areas are given attention. Our efforts include the development of a leadership program and communications training for all managers by the end of FY08. The Agency is also in the process of revising both the Performance and Awards programs and are confident that this area will improve our performance culture significantly.
