Background
In September 2011, the Board of Supervisors gave conceptual approval to the Chief Administrative Officer's Investment Strategy. The Investment Strategy was designed to update and upgrade the organizational infrastructure of the County by creating strategic teams focused on critical areas that would have significant impacts to upgrading the infrastructure. A Human Resources Investment team was formed consisting of members of the Board of Supervisors, Department Heads, and other high-level professionals within the County to determine and discuss areas in the Human Resources Department that would be critical in contributing to the overall Investment Strategy.
Reason for Recommendation
Several of the areas identified by the HR Investment team have already been addressed such as the updating of policies and procedures, labor negotiations and implementation, and clarifying and controlling Extra Help. Also identified as a critical area for upgrading the County's infrastructure is the area of training and development. Although opportunities occasionally arise for outside trainings that may or may not meet the needs of the various departments, it's been determined that the County would greatly benefit from having an "in-house" person who could solicit from departments what their specific training and/or development needs are, and either design, create and provide a training program tailored for them, or secure outside trainers as appropriate. In addition, the incumbent would be able to consult and advise departments on organizational strategies and techniques as well as recommend additional or follow-up training.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
