Staff/Manager Alignment
Score: -36
Less Aligned / More Satisfied: Agencies in this group have Best Places Index scores that exceed government-wide norms, but less-than-normal alignment between staff and managers on key workforce issues. Despite good scores on the Best Places index, agencies in this group should therefore examine the areas of high disconnect between staff and managers.
