County survey finds high employee engagement but concerns about benefits and pay
Summary
A county-conducted employee survey of 141 responses (~40% response rate) showed 83% positive sentiment about working for Grand County but highlighted top concerns about health insurance, compensation, pay-plan clarity and retirement options; staff proposed targeted communication and follow-up actions.
Grand County leaders presented results of an employee survey on June 24 that drew 141 responses, representing roughly a 40% response rate. County staff said the survey covered 22 questions about satisfaction, benefits, leadership and opportunities for growth and that most respondents said they like working for the county.
The presentation highlighted strengths (professional growth opportunities, supervisory openness, appropriate tools) and areas of concern: health insurance and benefits, compensation and pay-plan clarity, retirement options, and communication gaps. Staff recommended short-term "quick wins" including department-level feedback sharing, increased benefits communication and targeted follow-up surveys to drill into problem areas. The county intends to distribute raw data to employees and use the results to shape benefits outreach and longer-term compensation strategy.
