Human Resources outlines need to strengthen employee-evaluation policy; software or staff required
Summary
Human Resources Commissioner Ruby Pulliam briefed legislators on the county's employee-evaluation policy, noting uneven practice across departments and saying stronger enforcement will require either additional staff or new software; the policy is scheduled for review in 2027.
Human Resources presented an overview of the county's employee performance-evaluation policy and recommended changes to make reviews more uniform and enforceable.
Ruby Pulliam said the current policy originated from a 2018 climate survey and requires a written evaluation, a standard evaluation tool, and opportunities for self-evaluation by employees. "We thought that was necessary in any effective performance evaluation program," Ruby said, but she added that administration lacks staff capacity to ensure countywide compliance. Ruby said the department is evaluating software options (UKG and NeoGov) to automate the process and will return with cost estimates.
Committee members asked whether departments could certify completion of evaluations and suggested forming a small legislative working group to refine the policy and implementation plan ahead of the 2027 review.
