Work Study and Volunteer Opportunities
The Administration Department has proven to be a successful training ground for individuals that have little to no experience or for those returning to the work force. We work closely with the Community Services Agency and local colleges for work study programs as well as providing volunteer opportunities for anyone that would like to lend a hand in a clerical setting.
Achievements…
-
The Quality Improvement Committee (QIC), established in 2001, continues to meet on a monthly basis reviewing employee suggestions and concerns, emphasizing resolution focused ideas and focusing on inclusion and honoring/celebrating diversity. The committee is dedicated to making positive changes in the agency. The mission of QIC is to promote open communication, a positive and inclusive work environment, and a commitment to excellence.
-
The Celebration Committee, made up of staff from many different programs is responsible for planning celebrations and activities throughout the year. Some of the exciting activities that employees enjoy include employee appreciation lunches, an annual omelet breakfast served by Senior Management, Character Counts and Essential Piece awards and other various no cost and low cost activities to show CHS employees how much they are appreciated.
-
Annual Employee Satisfaction Surveys are conducted in order to measure job satisfaction among employees. The first annual survey was conducted in 2000 and has been conducted annually ever since. Each year we have maintained or exceeded our measures for employee satisfaction. Results are reviewed by the CHS Leadership Team and applied to strategies for continued improvement and monitoring in relation to sustaining a positive work environment for employees. Areas that prove most favorable include employees being satisfied with the work environment, the teamwork and support they receive, training, flexibility in their jobs and satisfaction in the overall service delivery of CHS. Employee feedback is essential in the success of CHS and we continue to look at ways to increase communication and participation from all employees.

What's new in Administration? Many new and exciting things are happening that involve the administration department at CHS. We have established a Green Committee that is tasked with raising awareness about our environment and how CHS can make a difference including recycling and conserving programs, monthly Green Challenges to educate staff and incentives for participation. Also new in Administration related to technology is the beginning of an HR Connect Website which will provide on-line web access for employees. This will give employees instant access to agency information and materials including wellness, safety, forms, policies, training information, etc. This is an exciting endeavor to increase efficiency and access and decrease the use of paper. Our "For the Well of It" Wellness Program has also officially kicked off educating staff on the eight dimensions of wellness including: intellectual, spiritual, physical, occupational, emotional, social and environmental wellness. The concept of wellness stresses a balanced, controlled approach to the seven dimensions. Careful attention to each of these dimensions will allow you to achieve work and personal success.
