Human resources report: 23 active requisitions, 173 terminations last year and workers' comp overview
Summary
HR presented recruitment needs across departments (23 active requisitions), summarized exit-interview data for the year (173 terminations) and provided a workers' compensation overview noting total incurred costs rose while claim counts fell; staff described new third-party administrator arrangements.
Human Resources presented its regular director's report to the committee, highlighting 23 active requisitions across county departments, a 2025 exit-interview summary reporting 173 terminations, and a workers' compensation overview showing higher incurred dollars with fewer claims.
HR listed open recruitment for roles including child support specialist, corporation counsel assistant positions, senior legal assistant, finance accountant, highway maintenance technicians, HR benefits specialist, human services case managers and public‑health nurse vacancies. HR said 22 requisitions had been received and that internships and other recruitment efforts are ongoing. HR staff (April) summarized the exit‑interview statistics and noted that the termination data covers full‑time employees only; the report also broke down reasons for leaving and destinations (private sector, other public employers, etc.).
On workers' compensation, HR presented a summary prepared with Robertson Ryan and the county's third-party administrator (WIMIC), noting that total incurred dollars for the year rose to $117,659 while the number of claims decreased in 2025. HR said some large claims remain open for about a year while claims are resolved and that nurse‑navigator services and the new administrator's processes have generally been effective. Committee members asked whether the workers' compensation information is shared with the full county board and requested continued updates on the 'big beautiful bill' task force and FLSA-related reporting. The committee set its next meeting for April 14, 2026 and adjourned.
