Employer Benefit Fund - $17.4M

▪ Have saved the County $2M amount since becoming self-insured in 2013.

• Have estimated an additional $15.3M in savings between 2013-2016 given the projected increases when

fully insured v. what was needed to pay claims as self-insured

▪ BOCC approved update to the self-insurance plan that provides for 20 weeks of reserves (we already are exceeding that amount) and a commitment that the monies in the fund will be reinvested in employee health and well-being programs & benefits ▪ Implementing a new, on-line benefit enrollment system ▪ 2018 highlights:

• Will expand the WorkingWell program in 2018, staying within allocated $10,000 budget
• Will contract for an enhanced EAP, long-term disability coverage & some enhancements to the PPO

HSA/HDHP plan

• Will eliminate and/or close some of our plans as part of a move to simplify the benefit environment for

staff

• Rates are projected to increase by 7.1% (Kaiser), 7.2% (Premera PPO plans) in 2018
• Request to increase County contribution - anticipated impact to GF is an additional $126,578

21

Compensation Study

Refresh – $42K

▪ Implemented the new classification and compensation study effective January 2016

• Reduced # of classifications from 469 to 129
• Heard 96 appeals
• Negotiated new pay rates to implement study
• Cost $1.26M in year 1 ($941,055 GF impact)

▪ Comp study refresh to ensure salary grid is still aligned with market

• Survey 20-30 benchmark classifications, including hard-to-recruit classifications
• Goal of implementing any changes effective January 2019

22

Employee Engagement Survey

$10K

▪ 2 departments have regularly conducted employee engagement surveys

• Engaged employees:
• Feel passionate about their jobs,
• Are committed to the organization, and
• Put discretionary effort into their work
• How engagement demonstrates itself:
• High attendance and productivity
• Low # of accidents, complaints, grievances, lawsuits, lower rates of absenteeism & turnover
• Recommend employer as a great place to work

▪ With tools, resources & a respected survey consultant, can benchmark, get more detailed analysis to understand and identify how to improve engagement & track progress over time ▪ Will want to pilot a countywide survey in early 2018

• Train managers and supervisors why employee engagement matters & what are the key drivers of

engagement

• Do the survey
• Train on the results and monitor & resource action plans to address pockets of disengagement

23

Other budget changes

▪ $8,000 increase in Supplies:

• This represents a move of $ budgeted in GAO for the employee store and employee

recognition supplies. The costs associated with the Countywide recognition program will now be housed in HR’s budget

▪ $77,000 increase in Interfund charges:

• That is mostly a result of the change in IS allocation. We have not increased our

consumption of IS services, it is just being reflected in our budget rather than embedded in the GAO budget.
