Once funding is appropriated, the Department of Human Resources would commission a study on best practices for surveying city employees across departments, boards, and commissions. The study must be completed within six months of receiving funds and shared with the Metro Council, covering topics like survey frequency, anonymity protections, distribution methods, and how results should be interpreted and used.
