The Internal Audit Department is a participant
in the County of Orange “Labor / Management Committee” (LMC)
program in collaboration with the Auditor/Controller Department.
The LMC is a team of employees and managers working together
at the department level to make the County of Orange a
more progressive workplace. This is accomplished by providing
a monthly forum where they can freely express their ideas
about improving working condition and processes to achieve
creative solutions to departmental workplace issues. The
program has been adopted by all departments in the County
and has been widely successful. Two of our staff members,
one from labor and one from management represent us
Some of the projects that the Internal Audit LMC has actively
participated in are as follows:
- Acted in an advisory capacity during the formulation of the employee “Performance
Improvement Program” (PIP). This program gives employees an opportunity
for personal development and achievement and rewards them for their
effort.
- Assisted in the identification of goal criteria for the PIP program
that promote conformity with the departments business plan.
- Provided comprehensive input to the LMC Steering Committee concerning
the PIP Program and the PIP evaluation process.
- Established a “Workplace Issue” subcommittee to investigate
departmental issues submitted to the LMC by concerned employees.
- Participate in the annual departmental Business Plan process.
- Developed cost savings ideas for greater County efficiency.
This program promotes meaningful understanding between employees and
management by holding regular meetings to discuss issues of importance
to labor organizations and to departments. |
