Summary
Carroll County Human Resources reported net hiring gains in June, lower resignations, and upcoming longevity recognitions including a 35-year honoree, with employee events planned.
Linda Machette, the county's human-resources director, reported recruiting gains and low turnover in June and said the county finished the month with a net gain of eight employees and a total headcount of 287. She said ZipRecruiter and targeted outreach (including an LNA health career job fair in Manchester) assisted hiring efforts and that employee-referral incentives have helped fill positions including corrections.
Machette also said negotiations with the National Corrections Employees Union are ongoing and that meetings were productive; a next bargaining session was scheduled for July 23. She noted longevity milestones: 24 employees will be recognized this year at milestone years (5, 10, 15, etc.), and Victoria Garland was honored at the meeting for 35 years of county service.
Machette reminded staff of employee benefits and said Aflac and Colonial Life supplemental-insurance vendors have been onsite to sign up interested employees. She also invited commissioners to an employee cookout scheduled for July 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Ending: HR will continue recruitment and bargaining work and will coordinate longevity recognition and outreach events.
