Abstract

About 20 years ago, the Washington State Department of Corrections (WADOC) participated in two workload evaluations with the aim of identifying key tasks associated with community corrections work and the time to complete such tasks, and utilized these data to inform the amount of resources needed to carry out the responsibilities of the Community Corrections Division (CCD). Those evaluations set a precedent for how WADOC made informed decisions that shaped practice and policy for staffing. Then, in the fall of 2021, WADOC contracted with Westat, Inc. to conduct an updated, full-scale workload assessment of staff members who carry out the responsibilities of the CCD.
