FY26 Employee Satisfaction & Internal Services Survey

Jul 1, 2026

Dear City Employee:

It’s that time of year again when EVERY City employee is being asked to complete the FY2026 Employee Satisfaction & Internal Services Survey. The survey allows you to rate your satisfaction with several internal service areas and to provide feedback which will help identify where improvements are most needed and/or to identify areas in which we are successful. Your input is vital; without it, we cannot accurately measure our performance or effectively serve our internal customers.

The survey will remain open through July 31, 2026. Please click on the following link or use the QR Code to access the survey electronically:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FY26EmpSurvey

If you would rather print out a paper copy to complete, a simple PDF of the survey can be accessed and printed using this link: https://www.bgky.org/files/l9mXfRdl.pdf. Simply forward the completed survey back to Katie Schaller-Ward through inter-office mail. No names are required.

Supervisors:

You are asked to forward a copy of the survey to any employees that do not regularly have access to email. You can direct them to the City Employee Home Page(https://www.bgky.org/employee-only)to access the survey link, post the QR Code, or provide them with a paper copy to complete and return to my attention.

City Manager Jeff Meisel and Department Heads sincerely appreciate your time and dedication in completing this year’s survey. Your responses are vital to identifying and implementing necessary improvements across the organization. To demonstrate our commitment to your feedback, we will share several improvements already implemented or forthcoming changes which were driven directly by your input from past survey responses.

Please ensure your feedback is constructive and professional. To help us implement meaningful changes, we ask that you focus your responses on organizational processes and workplace improvement rather than personal grievances.
Thank you in advance for your time and contribution!

Katie Schaller-Ward
