Miami County approves NEOGOV training and performance software under four-year agreement

The Miami County Board of County Commissioners approved a four-year agreement to purchase NEOGOV’s Learn and Perform human-resources modules and authorized the county administrator to sign the contract.

Sarah Denny, Miami County human resources director, told commissioners the vendor offered a limited-time first-year waiver of subscription fees; the county would pay implementation fees of $6,798 and realize a first-year savings Denny described as "$20,659.36." She said the agreement’s employee bracket is for 200 to 249 employees and that the per-employee rate would remain the agreed-upon rate for the contract term whether active employee counts fluctuate.

Denny described the Learn module as providing "unlimited access to over 1,400 online training videos tailored to the public sector workforce," and said the Perform module allows supervisors to "monitor performance in real time, tracking accomplishments, providing feedback, and setting goals." She also said the county can upload internal trainings and tie evaluation outcomes directly to assigned learning.

County budget staff told the commission the planned 2026 budget included $25,000 for the software and that year-2 cost projections were $24,923.25; Denny said year 3 and year 4 would rise to $34,892.55 and $36,554.10 respectively. A presenter summarized the first-year savings as covering services through 05/15/2026.

Commissioner Vaughn moved to approve the agreement and Commissioner Vickery seconded. The motion carried unanimously, recorded in the meeting as a 5-0 affirmative vote. Commissioners also noted the county will revisit its applicant-tracking contract (NEOGOV Insight) when that product "sunsets" in 2029.
