Clear, consistent, horizontal and vertical communication is vital in the City's journey to achieving high performance. Team members must feel connected to the overall organization’s goals and understand how their individual role contributes to achieving our vision to be the community of choice in Tampa Bay. To support this, visuals have been updated in facilities including Environmental Service, City Hall, and Public Works to communicate the City's mission, vision, and values and serve as a constant reminder of how individuals together to achieve common goals. In Departments, managers are listening and engaging leaders at all levels by inviting ideas to the decision-making table. Committees like the Fire Rescue Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team, the Public Works Incentive Committee, and Community Development stay interviews have been established to ensure ideas are heard, City-wide communication efforts like an annual team engagement survey and internal monthly team webinars ensure critical dialogue is occurring. Team Largo continues this work to identify opportunities to collaborate, connect with each other, and promote superior services regularly and in many ways.
