WILLIAMS DIRECTOR
E arlier this year, more than 12,000 of you completed the
Survey of Employee Engagement (SEE) — a vital tool to
gain feedback on your job, work environment and leaders.
Achieving a 90% response rate tells me you care about your
workplace and are invested in helping us make TxDOT an even
better place to work. Thank you for your time, your honesty, and
your commitment to our agency and to the people of Texas.
I also want to recognize the district and division SEE commit-
tees for the role they played in this effort. From encouraging
participation to sharing best practices and ideas, their support
truly helped make this an agency-wide team effort.
Our overall score was 393 — just slightly down
