If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at City of Philadelphia?
offering various incentives to keep employees motivated and ready to work as hard as they need to, while at the same time letting employees know that they are valued and appreciated
Have more of a path for growth at least in OIT. We have a ton of great people working for the city but we train them and give them all of these tools and they leave for money. We have no real path to retain talent so that would be something I would fix.
