How will participants for the focus groups and interviews be selected?
Participants will be selected randomly from a list of all CDC employees, but in a way that assures that different jobs and responsibilities are represented. The prospective participants will be contacted by phone by Academy staff. Additional individual interviews will be conducted with CDC employees as well as with managers responsible for compensation and awards programs. Participation is entirely voluntary; however, if you are contacted, you are encouraged to participate because this is the best way to make your thoughts and ideas known to the Academy staff and Panel.
