As recognition initiatives that have a financial or benefits impact would need to <br /> go through the budgeting process and require Commission approval,the Workgroup is <br /> looking for direction from the Commission before moving forward with a specific plan. <br /> Ms. Nelson provided some background on the makeup of the Workgroup, and the <br /> meetings and discussions that had taken place. She shared that ultimately the group <br /> decided to concentrate on a program that affects everyone within the company, while <br /> using a universal measurement: the employee anniversaries recognition program. <br /> Ms. Nelson went over the current employee anniversary recognition program as outlined <br /> in ERMU's Public Purpose Expenditure Policy. Ms. Nelson presented the new ideas the <br /> Workgroup had come up with to recognize milestones in employment. She also presented <br /> some nominal ways to increase employee recognition within the company.There was <br /> discussion. <br /> The Commission was receptive to the idea of revamping the current employee <br /> anniversaries recognition program. The direction given was to look into some type of <br /> employee service award program that offers employees the option to select a gift from a <br /> catalog upon their service milestone. Based on this direction, Ms. Nelson stated that the <br /> Workgroup would put together a more specific plan to be presented to the Commission <br /> for consideration. <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> August 13, 2019 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 33 <br />
