- Retaining our valued employees by assuring effective leadership qualities in our managers; providing competitive wages and benefits; conducting exit interviews and supplying relevant feedback to management; and enhancing two-way communication between employees and management. Above all, employees will be provided the same concern, respect, and caring attitude within the organization that they are expected to share externally with every City of Paducah customer.
