Investigation declares NDDOT a hostile workplace, calls for new division director
BISMARCK N.D. -- An independent investigation of the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Division office recently concluded that a hostile work environment exists — one generated by stressful conditions and an "overbearing director."
The external investigation has resulted in a review of policies and a search for a new director of the Motor Vehicle Division. Prior to the conclusion of the investigation, Linda Sitz, former director of the Motor Vehicle Division, accepted a position in DOT's planning department.
As a result of interviews with 51 current and past motor vehicle division and motor carrier staff as well as management and human resources staff, the investigation, which began in late September, revealed low morale throughout the department caused by rigid policies that were inconsistently applied.
Darcy Rosendahl, deputy director of the DOT, said the morale issue caught him off guard.
