Merit Appeals Board May 16, 2022 And I'm just—maybe you can tell us later as to MR. LEOPOLDINO: Our discussions included that the HR representative and assistants in the departments perform these exit interviews because they're the neutral parry and they're the support for the employees and management. So, initially, we're thinking that's the group that would do the exit interviews—is the HR the individual departmental HR representatives. MS. MATHEWS: And then, how would that roll up to your department where you can actually use it to make change? MR. LEOPOLDINO: So, we will—like with the annual performance appraisal reviews, we would ask for copies be sent to our department for review. It'll likely come in with the processing form when we terminate or discharge an employee. MS. MATHEWS: Thank you. MR. LEOPOLDINO: You're welcome. CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you. Ms. De Soto, any questions—no. Mr. Ventura, questions? MR. VENTURA: No questions. CHR. CABANAS: Okay, thank you. I just have one, Waylen. So, the—for the exit interviews—so a form has to be developed just the way you would do any other form and then training of the HR reps. Then, also, what action would be taken by the appointing authority, also, would be part of that and their—what—if there is a problem as to why the person is leaving, right? Okay. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yeah. That's, basically, what the process would entail. And, like I said, any program that we implement, we want it to be effective. We don't just want it to be something that the employee just go through. So, it would be a solid program that we would try to put in—or focus on in trying to put in place. CHR. CABANAS: I think it's very important to find out why employees are leaving. Do they still value working for the County of Hawaii? Yeah. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Agree. Thank you. CHR. CABANAS: Thank you, Waylen. Anything else to your report I mean, those were the three items that were listed. Page 19
