County schedules workplace conduct seminar and expands training options for staff
Summary
Ballard County scheduled a hostile workplace seminar with a trainer for roughly four hours at a $1,000 fee and discussed using online training and a computer lab to deliver required pesticide and civil-rights training to employees and department heads.
County leadership discussed a package of training initiatives aimed at reducing hostile-workplace behavior and improving staff capabilities.
Speaker 5 said the county scheduled a hostile workplace seminar with an outside trainer (Stacy) and reported the trainer’s fee would be $1,000 for approximately four hours. Speaker 5 said department directors and supervisors should attend so they can set the tone for their teams.
Speakers also said the county has access to online training videos (referred to as Keiko’s materials) and discussed building a small computer lab—possibly at Marlowe or Wickliffe or using the library—so staff without individual workstations can complete pesticide and other required certifications online through the University of Kentucky platform.
The board agreed the training must be reinforced by leadership behavior and discussed holding at least annual sessions for new hires and department staff. No formal contract award for the trainer was recorded in the transcript; staff will finalize arrangements and attendance expectations.
