| Mission Statement
|
| Ensuring the best people work for the best employer. |
| |
| Trends, Issues, and Opportunities |
 | Trends we hear from other employers utilizing Blue Shield and Blue Cross are averaging 18-20%. We are currently budgeted at 15%. We hope to accomplish this by utilization training and healthy life style awareness. |
| Continue to be a learning organization using limited training funds judiciously by focusing on in-house training, purchased programs, and local consultants.
Continue to review, rewrite and update City Employee Policy manual to provide Mayor and Council with input on internal and external equitable practices. |
| Provide Mayor & Council with credible and effective advice relative to the City of Boise HR functions and practices. |
| Provide recruitment and selection activities to hire and retain top candidates. |
| Continue to encourage promotion of qualified employees from within the organization. |
| Continue to support departments in embracing diversity by evaluating and refining our Affirmative Action Program, educational opportunities, and promotion of informational events. |
| |
| Two-Year Budget Highlights |
| As part of a project team, we are exploring partially or fully self-funding the City's medical/dental benefits. |
| Expand Criminal History Check policy to include pre-employment checks of all new employees for convictions in areas such as workplace violence, homeland security issues, etc. This would reduce potential litigation costs, increase personal safety for employees and taxpayers, enhance overall working environment. |
| City Council approved funding for FY 2002 & FY 2003 to Post Employment Health Plans for non-union employees. Recommend continued funding for FY 2004 & 2005 at the minimum contribution allowed which is 0.5%. Because the PEHP provides employees with protection in retirement related to health costs, it is a useful component of a retirement program. |
