HR delays senior-office-assistant job description and expands new-hire IT orientation
Summary
Human Resources pulled a revised job description for the clerk’s office for further edits and said county new‑hire orientation will be modified to include more IT training (a day and a half of IT content) following staff and tech‑services review.
Human Resources informed the county commissioners on March 24 that a proposed revised job description for the clerk’s office senior office assistant will be pulled for additional editing and returned to the board at a later meeting.
HR manager Josh Griffith and IT director Chad (last name not provided in open session) described changes to the county’s new‑hire orientation schedule. The county will extend IT training so new employees receive roughly a day and a half of instruction from technology services rather than a single half‑day segment. HR said the change produced measurable benefits in initial phishing‑training vulnerability metrics and will be coordinated with elected officials and department heads to reduce scheduling conflicts.
Why it matters: county staff said the extra IT training reduced employees’ phishing vulnerabilities by about half in early measures and will also prepare new hires to work safely with county systems. Commissioners voiced support for the expanded training and asked HR to finalize the orientation plan and return with the complete policy for approval.
Other HR items: Josh requested a brief closed session on collective bargaining negotiations; commissioners scheduled exec-session follow up on labor negotiations during the meeting’s closed‑session portion.
What’s next: HR will finalize and circulate the revised orientation plan (including timing and department‑specific coordination) and return the revised senior office assistant job description to the board next week.
