DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW The Human Resources Department consists of seven full-time employees and one part-time employee who are dedicated to providing exceptional service to our customers. The eight positions include: the Director of Human Resources, a Labor & Employee Relations Manager, a Benefits & Risk Manager, a Benefits Coordinator, a Talent & Compensation Manager, two HR Representatives, and a part-time Administrative Secretary. Each member of the HR team is accountable for providing exceptional service to all potential and current Village employees. The department s primary functions include recruitment of new employees for open positions, administration of the Talent Management Plan, management of employee and labor relations, administration of employee benefits and wellness programs, facilitation of the annual performance management process, provision of professional development opportunities for employees, management the self-insured workers compensation program, maintenance of employee personnel files, management of employee risk and safety initiatives, administration of the six collective bargaining agreements, and the provision of many other vital services for the village s employees from their first day of work through retirement. KEY ACTIVITIES In the village s Talent Management Plan (TMP), the goal is to develop exceptional leaders which exemplify the Village s core values of trust, integrity, respect, teamwork, and customer service. The five elements of the TMP include: 1. Attract the right talent with the right competencies for the job. 2. Engage talent you already have with innovation and challenges. 3. Build talent through assessment and development. 4. Promote talent by giving the best performers the biggest opportunities. 5. Retain talent by recognizing performance and contribution to the vision. Each month the Human Resources Department distributes the HR Bulletin to supervisors, high potential employees, and professional leaders. The July topic discussed why people leave jobs. Companies can offer more money, training and development, recognition programs rewarding the right behaviors and many other benefits but there are better ways to help you retain your key talent. Employees told us what they value most about their job, and there were two aspects of their work which scored higher than anything else. 1. Importance of the relationship with their manager. 2. Company culture. These two responses highlight the role that we as managers can play in retaining talented staff. Managers must be accountable for their leadership and communication styles. Excellent leaders will keep excellent staff. Cultivating a culture can take time to successfully permeate through an organization. Leaders need to demonstrate the values and model the behaviors expected of each employee. 2 P age
MONTHLY PERFORMANCE FY 2017 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The Key Performance Indicators are being tracked quarterly. FY 2017 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS KPI 1: Average Time Required Filling Vacant Positions Filling vacant positions is a critical component of Human Resource s mission for Village departments. If the time to fill a vacant position takes too long, the Village risks losing top talent to other organizations. Additionally the longer a position is vacant the more stress and strain the hiring department feels due to the lack of adequate staffing to provide critical services. A taskforce reviewed the recruitment process and determined that ninety (90) days was a good target period to fill vacant positions. Human Resources is using the taskforce s recommended time to fill as its benchmark and will implement process improvements to achieve improvements on the current 90 day standard. 100 Average Time to Fill Vacant Positions 80 60 40 20 0 45 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY 16 Total: 90 days FY 17 Target: 90 days *Source: Success Factors Average Target KPI 2: Employee Once someone is hired, it is the Village s goal to develop and retain that talent. Ensuring employees stay up-to-date in their current positions and developing them for future roles is critical for retaining excellent staff. The benchmark for this KPI is an average of the number of employee development classes offered and the total number of employees attending these offerings over the past four years. Expansion of training offerings is important to the success of all employees in the organization. 3 P age

Human Resources has identified that it can increase community partnerships by assisting departments in creating and developing academic/career internship opportunities. Human Resources views internships as an opportunity to provide the next generations of our workforce a glimpse at the workings of municipal government. The community partnerships can be developed by working with local high schools and colleges to advertise and recruit students wanting to learn about and explore opportunities in municipal government. Human Resources will work with departments to identify meaningful internships that will allow the student to work in an area of interest and also allow departments to cultivate future employees through practical experiences as a part of the student s school curriculum. 3.5 3 2.5 Number of Academic/Career Internships Offered 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 2 2 2 2 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY 16 Total: N/A FY 17 Target: 3 *Source: Recruiting Total Target 4 P age
