Local government diversifies engagement through technology 

City of ABC, [ST], [Date] – [City Name] is excited to announce the launch of Polco (www.polco.us), an innovative online engagement platform that lets local government employees and residents provide direct input to the local government decision-making process. Officials will post questions directly to employees and residents on Polco’s website, where respondents answer and comment on the issues. Polco makes public participation easier for employees residents to get involved, so more voices are heard. 

[City Name] wants their employees’ insight through The National Employee Survey, also called The NES. 

[Quote from City official about how Polco is a good tool to use for the project.] Ex: “This survey will help City staff identify priorities for improving our work environment and City as a whole.”

The City also seeks community involvement on developing plans to ensure job satisfaction, clarify necessary areas in need of improvement and [other projects that the City will be asking for input on] on Polco in the coming weeks and months.

To get involved, city employees should go to polco.us/[shorturl].
