Warden Heather Franzoni named Franklin County employee of the month for January
Summary
The board recognized Franklin County Jail Warden Heather Franzoni as January employee of the month; HR Director Tiffany Boyer read nominations that praised Franzoni's hours, leadership and efforts to reduce overtime and improve staffing and morale.
Tiffany Boyer, Franklin County human resources director, presented the January 2025 employee of the month award to Heather Franzoni, warden of the Franklin County Jail, at the commissioners' meeting on Feb. 5.
Boyer read excerpts from 27 nominations, three of which specifically named Franzoni. Nominators praised Franzoni's long hours, willingness to work days off to reduce overtime and staffing disruptions, and efforts to boost morale and improve hiring. "Heather has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, dedication, hard work, and commitment to our team's success," Boyer read from a nomination.
Franzoni accepted the award and credited her staff. "I am very grateful and honored to receive this award. I would be nothing without the team and staff at the jail," she said. Commissioners praised Franzoni's leadership and expressed appreciation for her work to keep the facility operating and to support staff through difficult incidents.
Why it matters: The recognition highlights operational challenges at the county jail, including staffing and overtime management, and showcases steps county leadership and jail staff say they are taking to address those issues. Commissioners noted Franzoni's role in improving the facility's standing during state inspections and in sharing practices with peer counties.
The board took no formal personnel action at the meeting beyond the recognition.
