威州发布持续改进报告：104个员工主导项目一年节省775万美元
麦迪逊消息：威斯康星州州长托尼·埃弗斯（Tony Evers）与州行政厅厅长凯西·布卢门菲尔德（Kathy Blumenfeld）10月12日发布《2026年持续改进计划报告》，汇总州政府各机构由一线员工主导的流程改进成果。报告显示，2026财年全州共完成104个改进项目，比上一财年增长22%。
这些项目为州政府带来约37.8万美元的一次性节省和每年775万美元的持续节省，同时释放了超过1.8万小时的员工工时。改进涵盖简化审批流程、数字化表格和跨部门协作等方向。报告还介绍，州政府今年举办了首届「持续改进论坛」，有75名州机构领导参加，并表彰了农业、贸易与消费者保护厅，税务厅，安全与专业服务厅以及交通厅等机构的团队。
埃弗斯表示，这些成果来自州雇员立足本职岗位发现的问题与提出的方案，说明公共服务的效率提升可以来自内部持续的小改进。布卢门菲尔德介绍，过去三年州政府在精益改进方面的培训完成量翻了一番，参与者满意度达90%。
州政府表示将继续推广这一计划，把员工主导的改进纳入各机构的常规管理，并通过年度报告公开成果。
州政府网站公布了报告全文和各机构项目的节省明细，供公众查阅。行政厅表示，下一年度将把数据分析和自动化工具纳入持续改进培训，并鼓励更多一线员工提交改进提案，目标是在保持服务质量的同时，把年度节省额进一步做大。

Wisconsin Releases Continuous Improvement Report: 104 Employee-Led Projects Save $7.75 Million a Year
MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Tony Evers and Department of Administration Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld on Oct. 12 released the state's 2026 Continuous Improvement Program Report, summarizing process-improvement projects led by frontline state employees. In fiscal year 2026, agencies completed 104 projects — 22% more than the year before.
The projects generated about $378,000 in one-time savings and $7.75 million in recurring annual savings, while freeing up more than 18,000 staff hours. Improvements ranged from streamlined approvals and digitized forms to better cross-agency coordination. The report also notes the state's first Continuous Improvement Forum, attended by 75 agency leaders, and recognition for teams at the departments of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection; Revenue; Safety and Professional Services; and Transportation.
Evers said the results come from state employees identifying problems and solutions in their own work, showing that public-service efficiency can be built from steady internal improvements. Blumenfeld said completions of the state's lean-improvement training have doubled over three years, with a 90% satisfaction rate.
The administration says the program will continue expanding, with employee-led improvements embedded in agency management and results published annually.
The full report and project-by-project savings details are posted on the state website. The Department of Administration said data analysis and automation tools will be added to next year's improvement training, and more frontline employees will be encouraged to submit proposals, with the aim of growing annual savings while maintaining service quality.
