Title
Authorizing the expenditure not to exceed $31,000 from the General Fund (Employee Engagement Committee) for the provision of an Employee Engagement Activity programming with the Toledo Mud Hens Baseball Club, Inc; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the City engaged in an Employee Engagement Survey to measure employee’s perceptions of their work environment. One of the major themes from the survey results is the need for city-wide employee appreciation and recognition programming. The Employee Engagement Committee (EEC), which was formed following the survey, is composed of representatives throughout the City that meet on a monthly basis to discuss work culture and ideas for employee recognition.
To that end, the EEC would like to recognize staff citywide for their continued hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic by sponsoring an employee appreciation event. According to the National Association of Employee Recognition (NAER), the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) World at Work and other national organizations, annualized company-sponsored events such as picnics, amusement park days, etc., shows organizational commitment to employees, and increases overall employee retention rates. The Office of the Mayor supports this initiative and the EEC’s commitment to employee recognition.
This ordinance requests authorization for the provision for an Employee Engagement Event with the Toledo Mud Hens Baseball Club, Inc. for a city-wide group outing on August 11, 2022.
