Toward a New National Weather Service: National Weather Service Employee Feedback

摘要

The $4 billion modernization and associated restructuring of the National WeatherService (NWS) is placing a considerable strain on the organization and its people at all levels. The committee became concerned about the degree of involvement of employees in the field and adequacy of the two-way communication between them and management. A survey was conducted of about 800 randomly selected employees. The results are confirming that there are problems in a number of areas that need greater attention by NWS management. (The report and its recommendations will be of primary interest to the NWS and its employees.)
