Engagement & Retention at Wisconsin DOT

Posted: 7/13/2026

WEBINAR: August 19, 2026, 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT

Cultivating a Culture that Keeps: Engagement & Retention at WisDOT is a free webinar highlighting how the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is transforming workforce stability through intentional employee retention and engagement initiatives.

Learn how WisDOT utilizes stay interviews to proactively understand what keeps top talent engaged before they consider leaving, shifting from reactive exit interviews to proactive career mapping. In addition, presenters will explore the critical role of psychological safety in the workplace—creating a high-trust environment where team members feel secure to voice ideas, admit mistakes, and innovate without fear of negative consequences.

Whether you manage a small crew or lead a large division, you will walk away with practical, actionable frameworks to boost morale, strengthen team communication, and build a supportive culture that people want to stay and grow with.

This workshop is ideal for supervisors, managers, engineers, and others responsible for managing workplace performance.
