Resource module is due to be implemented the week of July 301h, this will aid in formalizing the procedures for Human Resources city-wide. • Planning for a training session for all supervisors and managers has begun which will be completed by the end of 2012. • Organization of the employee files is well underway and significant progress has been made in this area making it easier to pull data and monitor issues. • The Personnel Policy is being reviewed and revisions are being noted. Sample policies are being gathered to address updates to the policy concerning use of City property including cell phones, laptops, and technology. Some procedures have been changed related to safety, reporting of accidents, and workers compensation through work on the Safety Committee and the League of Minnesota Cities. • Work has not yet begun to schedule training for staff and Council on Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment, however, draft Technology policies are being worked on. Goal 3—Enhance employee relations and development. Priority: Low Year Initiated: 2011/2012 2012 Action Items • The Safety Committee was re-established and has worked on a number of issues; however, we are still waiting for Council to approve the Safety Committee Policy which was worked on with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. • We have not yet established a Wellness Committee, but research has begun on what other cities have done and what resources that are available. Goal 4—Use current technoloey to further enhance efficiencies and communications. Priority: Medium Year Initiated: 2011/2012 2012 Action Items • The new Deputy Clerk and Finance Analyst are currently working on completing the set-up of SharePoint and plans are to implement this by the end of September. Some departments and committees are already using this. For example, the Communications Committee uses this to collaborate do the newsletter. Finance and all departments use it for monthly revenue and expenditure reports and for collecting data for budgeting. The City Council has a calendar for availability that has been used in the past and monthly financial reports posted for Council review here. (Training was provided to the City Council in 2009 on this and new members received this during their orientation — however, another training session will be held for the City Council as part of Goal 5.)
