During the Glynn County Commission Special Called Work Session on October 6, 2025, significant updates to the county's personnel policy were unveiled, aiming to enhance employee engagement and streamline operations.

Key among the proposed changes is the introduction of the Employee Referral Program Policy, which incentivizes current employees to refer potential candidates for job openings. This initiative is designed to tap into the existing workforce's networks, potentially improving recruitment efforts.

Another notable addition is the Return of County Property Policy, which establishes guidelines for the proper disposal of county-branded items, such as shirts, when employees leave the organization. This policy aims to ensure that county property is handled responsibly and not discarded improperly.

The Medical Catastrophic Leave Donation Policy was also highlighted, allowing employees to donate their excess medical leave hours to colleagues facing serious health issues. This compassionate measure seeks to support employees in times of need, fostering a supportive workplace culture.

Additionally, a new fractionalization policy will address workplace relationships, ensuring that any potential conflicts of interest are managed appropriately. This policy aims to maintain professionalism and transparency within the county's workforce.

Commissioners were informed that a detailed redline version of the proposed changes will be available soon for further review. The meeting underscored the county's commitment to improving employee policies and creating a more supportive work environment.
