BACKGROUND:
City Council created the Jobs Growth Initiatives Fund for the purpose of actively seeking key job creation investment opportunities that employ Columbus workers and strengthen the City's income tax revenues to pay for critical city services.
Among the items included in the Jobs Growth Fund, is funding in the amount of $70,000 to provide the Department of Human Resources sufficient money to allow for an additional analyst within the Compensation Management program area of the Department. This position will focus on workforce planning, and strategic recruitment and retention citywide. It will assist departments with creating, updating and reviewing their strategic plans, determining the resources and competencies necessary to implement the strategic plan, reviewing current resources and determining where there are gaps, designing a recruitment strategy to close the gaps, and ensuring that compensation is aligned with the departments short and long term strategic vision. This is a strategic investment that will ultimately aid in retaining talented and qualified workers to best serve our citizenry.
City Council amended the 2012 budget in order to provide for this position within the Department of Human Resources. This ordinance transfers these funds to allow Department of Human Resources to accomplish this goal.
