Resource Summary: AASHTO leadership has identified workforce management as one of the most urgent issues for Departments of Transportation (DOTs). DOTs across the nation have increasingly expressed concerns about sustaining a qualified workforce. Many DOTs are addressing this problem by adopting some aspects of strategic workforce management, such as forecasting, succession planning, training and development, or targeted recruitment. This scan examines innovative strategic workforce management strategies DOTs are implementing, particularly those activities that can be quickly adopted and implemented to recruit, develop, and retain the workforce they need today and for the future.
