Working with Zelos, staff crafted a road map divided into priority initiatives to help tackle the challenges facing the organization. The goal of the initiatives are to: • Engage all staff to create values statements and communicate Orange County ’ s shared mission, vision, and values to all staff and the community
• Improve two - way communication that allows for staff to receive and provide information and know they have been heard
Prepare new employees for success
•
An Implementation Team consisting of volunteers from across the organization were given the responsibility of launching the road map. Over the course of the next several months, the team has met to fine tune the organization ’ s value statements.
The organization has also taken direct action to address challenges identified in the assessment including:
• Implementing an exit - interview process
Sharing survey results
•
Renovating office spaces
•
Stress management programs
•
• Class and compensation studies and budget adjustments
Benefit analysis and adjustments
•
• Cross - departmental training opportunities
We find ourselves six months into the implantation of the road map and we ’ ve accomplished a lot! We continue to work with the Cultural Initiative Team and subcommittees to address the five focus areas. If you are interested in participating, please contact Jenny Carpenter, Human Resources Director at jcarpenter@orangecountyva.gov or (540) 672 - 3313. Participation is voluntary and will be conducted during working hours.
