City rolls out pension bot, website accessibility features and a take-home pay calculator for recruiting
Summary
IT and HR demonstrated a newly implemented website accessibility tool, an internal 'pension bot' to answer employees' pension questions, and a take-home pay calculator to help recruitment; open enrollment is set for Oct. 13–30.
City staff demonstrated new tools intended to improve employee services and recruitment. Ronny Barrett described website accessibility features that translate visuals into text and provide phone navigation help for visually impaired users as part of Title II compliance; he also outlined an internal pension bot that interprets pension documents and links employees to a pension calculator. "...we built a bot for internal purposes for usage by the employees... this bot can now interpret all of the pension documents... and people can ask questions about their pension," Barrett said.
HR Director Keisha Register said the city launched an employee discount page for August, is entering open enrollment Oct. 13–30, and highlighted the clinic's role in saving money on health costs. Staff also re-introduced a take-home pay calculator used in recruitment to show how Marietta take-home pay compares with neighboring governments.
