The Wellness program provides information and activities to positively impact employee health and educate employees and their families about making choices that contribute to healthy lifestyles and thereby reduce healthcare utilization and costs. Training and Organization Development efforts focus on group learning, individual skill development, and problem solving that will improve the health, effectiveness, and productive capacity of the City organization. Major areas of emphasis for 2014-2015 are: Employee, leader, and team development to maintain and grow the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to successfully pursue and achieve the goals of the Mayor and City Council.

Progress on FY 2013-14 Action Plan: • Begin the project associated with the Enterprise Content Management or HP Trim. This has been delayed for HR until next budget year. • Complete compensation analyses on classification specifications with a goal to improve or replace the salary structure of the organization. The analysis of the class specifications is complete and recommendations will be brought forward during the budget process. . • Continue to promote the Beaverton Competency Process to cultivate staff talent to provide excellent leadership and public service. Staff members engaged in the process are creating professional development plans or are actively working to achieve the goals within their plans as a means of enhancing knowledge, skills, and abilities. (Visioning Goal: · Responsibly Provide High Quality Public Service) • With the number of retirements and restructuring that the organization must do to meet future goals, the HR Department will work with department management to identify the appropriate skills, knowledge and abilities to be able to recruit or promote the right people with the right skills for the right jobs. (Visioning Target Area: Provide Open, Responsible and Coordinated Government Services) • Help City of Beaverton managers create a welcoming workforce through meaningful employee recognition and celebration events. After the survey about the recognition events was completed and modifications to the program made, a "Recognition Board" was created and put on the Intra Web, allowing employees to give praise to their fellow employees for accomplishments, random kindnesses, or above-and-beyond contributions. The Board is used widely and frequently by employees and management. • Continue HR sustainability efforts through the use of online services, both for recruitment efforts and internal employee services. Requesting candidates apply online allows Staffing to ask consistent questions and process applicants efficiently. Continued system improvements via planned version upgrades and ongoing enhancements to internal employee services such as Employee Self Service, the Training Request system, and the Personnel Action System provides employees and supervisors the ability to access data, contribute to their own educational activities, and document employment events. . • Continue to work on the new in-house service award program to lower cost of using an outside vender by approximately 1/3 . An internal web site was developed in 2012-13 where employees select the gift they want based on years of service. A local vendor was selected to provide web management and a nice variety of appropriate gifts for the various service levels. The average yearly expense of the service award program with the previous vendor was approximately $12,300. The first year of implementation with the new program brought a 39% reduction while being able to offer fewer but higher quality products. We expect an additional 15% reduction this year, and we will monitor the satisfaction level ofthis new program with the employees. • Additional in the Spring of2014: Provide change management support to help employees understand (1) how the move process will take place to the new City Hall; (2) what to expect in an open office environment; and (3) how to adapt to the changes office relocations bring.

FY 2014-15 Action Plan:

• Continue to provide the change management support for the new City Hall move. • Evaluate safety and security for employees at the new City Hall. • Form a new Benefits Committee to evaluate alternative plans to the current Preferred Provider Organization plans with the intent of keeping the cost under the "Cadillac" level associated with the Affordable Care Act and avoiding the potential "luxury tax". • Rollout a new compensation model that corrects the problems associated with an out-of-date salary structure. • Evaluate and recommend a new tuition reimbursement model. • Establish a formal workforce planning process to identify future skill sets needed to execute the vision and strategy of the City.

Performance Outcomes and Program Trends:

An organization's effectiveness in compensation programs and in employee relations can be measured in the number of qualified employees who continue with the organization long term. The target of 95% or greater of the workforce to remain three years or longer and continue to demonstrate their qualifications is a measure of achieving this objective.

The Staffing function supports managers and supervisors in minimizing time spent on the recruiting and hiring process by managing the process from the initial requisition until the employee is hired. Staffmg recommends appropriate avenues of advertising, informs and explains legal issues that may arise during hiring, and maintains an open communication with applicants and managers throughout the process. The staffmg team will continue its efforts to attract veteran, women and minority candidates through specific job fairs and targeted advertising.

Recruitment and selection activities were expected to be flat in 2013-2014; however, there were a significant number of retirements and some involuntary terminations that changed the direction of these activities. The City will proceed ca!ltiously with filling positions and focus on retention and essential and critical recruitrilents.

Emphasis on a collaborative approach to resolving labor relations issues is a priority. More than half of the low number of grievances filed over the last three years have been dropped, settled or decided in favor of the City, which is a positive indicator of these efforts.

Thirty-seven percent of the employee population of the City of Beaverton is comprised of baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) who are now approaching retirement, and 35 percent of those are how eligible for full retirement benefits. That approximates 13% of the employee population. In 2013-14, there have been six retirements, with an additional three anticipated by the end of the 2013-14 fiscal year.

As the City continues to face the loss of institutional memory and tacit knowledge, Human Resources will continue to collaborate with City leaders to capture. tenured workers' knowledge as well as identify the new skills and abilities necessary to execute the vision and business strategy. A workforce-planning process will provide information to determine recruiting,

retention, and succession planning priorities. The City must be able to identify, develop and sustain the workforce skills it needs to successfully accomplish goals.

The City continues to work with the unions to maintain good lines of communication and creative problem solving. This is being accomplished through the Labor Management Committees -" members of management and union employees meeting to discuss work processes and working conditions to identify and solve problems -- and union leaders meeting with the Mayor, the Chief of Police, and the HR Director. A measure of success will be the identification and resolution of problems before they escalate to avoid grievances all together. Evidence of the success of the goal will be a reduction in grievances filed and a high percentage of the well-planned meetings conducted during the year. Labor Management Committee meetings are scheduled monthly in Public Works and quarterly in the Library. Other union and City leadership meetings are monthly.

The City's volunteer Human Rights Advisory Commission (HRAC) will continue its activities and create more opportunities to increase awareness of human rights issues in the City and promote a community of acceptance, understanding, and inclusion. The budget proposal includes a request for limited funding for the Commission's meetings and their many outreach activities. The Commission is actively inviting speakers to educate citizens and conducting cultural conversations with members of the City's ethnic communities. The HRAC Commissioners make themselves available for City events or to hear human rights complaints or answer questions as they arise.

The Beaverton Competency Process continues to be refined and simplified, using employee feedback, to ensure its usefulness and acceptance as a viable professional development tool. Staff members who are engaged in the process are either creating professional development plans or are actively working to achieve the goals within their plans as a means of enhancing their knowledge, skills, and abilities. • Work in collaboration with departmental clients to assess needs, design and deliver relevant learning opportunities; and promote the transfer of knowledge among staff to support department and City goals.

Performance Outcomes and Program Trends: Human Resources is committed to working in partnership with managers and staff to create and maintain functional and efficient systems that contribute to an environment where employees feel valued and are motivated by opportunities for meaningful and satisfying work. This environment promotes employee retention and provides the mechanism for delivering exceptional service to customers. Staff members are the organization's most valuable resource, and how they are developed and managed is critical to the City's success.

The City offers training and other development opportunities to staff throughout the year. Technical and non-technical learning opportunities support a citywide system of continuous improvement, innovation, and service. In FY 2013-14, employees participated in mandatory training to promote awareness and compliance with the City's respectful workplace and substance abuse policies. Through a new partnership with the City's Dispute Resolution Center, employees also had unique opportunities throughout the year to learn and hone their conflict resolution skills. In addition, employees acquired technical skills that allowed them to utilize current, advanced software programs and engaged in modular programs focused on interpersonal communications, development of leadership and management skills, and employment laws. Most learning opportunities are customized for the City and are designed to achieve specific outcomes, which result in strong client satisfaction and skill building that is relevant and immediately transferrable to the workplace. The City will continue to offer learning opportunities in FY 2014-15 that support the priorities of the Mayor and City Council by developing staff in alignment with the goals of the organization.

The major work of this program is to develop the leadership skills of both managers and employees; build group problem solving skills; enhance knowledge, skills and abilities of individuals and work groups to perform effectively; and to analyze processes and encourage collaborative efforts. Training will focus on supporting leader and employee development in the five competency areas: Leads/acts with respect and integrity; collaborates with individuals, teams, and other departments; promotes and engages in two-way communication; develops the knowledge, skills, and abilities of self and City staff; and achieves results for the community. Skill development opportunities and Organization Development sessions will focus on such areas as: Communication and human relations skills; customer service; change management and resilience; project management; employment laws; management/leadership training; and performance planning and feedback.

Other opportunities are provided for employees to increase their abilities in current positions and for promotional opportunities through the tuition reimbursement program. Tuition reimbursement opportunities are available through each of the labor contracts and to management employees for education and training that are relevant to an employee's career with the City. It continues to be a cost-effective way to encourage employees to increase their skills in classes that are taken on the employee's own time.

Managers and staff are encouraged to devote time to developing themselves and others. With a large portion of the City's workforce becoming eligible for retirement, the sharing of institutional knowledge, keeping current on technical training, and cultivating skills to lead the organization in the future are critical. In FY 2014-15, the City will continue to seek out, provide and facilitate valuable learning opportunities for staff. 166
