Interactive data dashboards provide a visual display of key data metrics. They allow users to filter for various characteristics (e.g., gender, age, etc.) to view data in greater detail than what might be available in a static report.
Staffing and Vacancy Dashboards
The data presented on these dashboards is generated by the Bureau of Budget & Facilities Management each pay period and is typically updated every two weeks. The dashboard shows the current total of FTE positions, FTE vacancies and FTE vacancy rates across divisions and includes security staffing of the Division of Adult Institutions by facility and facility type; probation and parole agent staffing of the Division of Community Corrections by region; youth counselors of the Division of Juvenile Corrections by facility; and a summary of total FTE positions, vacancies and vacancy rates across the Department by classification group.
Climate and Engagement Survey Dashboards
This dashboard summarizes the 6,219 total responses that were submitted by staff across all divisions and locations within the DOC. The survey collected the opinions of staff members on a variety of topics, including Job Satisfaction, Supervisory Relations and Pay and Benefits, and allowed respondents to provide additional comments on any other relevant topics they wanted to address.
