Merit Appeals Board March 10, 2022 <br />I think we do get a steady stream of those. And, in cases like that, we would work with the <br />department on change—management training for example. So, I would say "yes" but I think <br />recently over the last year, I've kind of—we're kind of experienced different types of grievances. <br />I can't say there's a trend in one area but—yes, definitely, we do get grievances related to those <br />issues. <br />MS. DE SOTO: I'll make a comment just on the wellness piece. If there's—have you guys <br />thought about any way to boost some of the wellness components for the employees because one <br />of the impacts of COVID and then hearing what Charlie says about changes in <br />Administrations people's ability to be flexible has really reduced in the last couple years, just <br />psychologically, right. <br />And so, thinking about how do you, as HR, encourage resiliency, flexibility, praise the behaviors <br />you want to see, right just to help the County employees of the whole being more resilient. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: I'm glad you brought that up because employee well-being has been at the <br />top of the list and part of this whole increase in the quit rate. A lot of employee value wellness <br />programs and wellness opportunities in the workplace. <br />So, that's definitely on—and I think I mentioned that at a previous meeting that that was one of <br />my projects as deputy director under Bill—was to do some type of wellness program because I <br />feel it directly ties into retention, recruiting. <br />I already initiated discussions with Blue Zones because they not only focus in on diets and reci <br />all these fun recipes and things like that. It actually goes in deeper and they talk about mental <br />health and all these other things. <br />So, we're excited to partner with Blue Zones. It's just—we have to get there. <br />But wellness is definitely a priority and part of this whole discussion. Thank you for bringing <br />that up. <br />MR. KUNZ: Waylen, does the County have a EAC? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Is it like an EAP program? <br />MR. KUNZ: Yeah. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah, we do. <br />MR.
