M-C-C�� <br />i me roff ice <br />M E M O R A N D U M <br />to: Maintenance Division Supervisors and Training Day Planning Committee Members <br />from: Bob Hammitt <br />subject: Training Day <br />date: February 17, 1997 <br />Attached is the final Training Day /Safety Awards agenda. This event typically generates several <br />questions every year. Below I will attempt to clarify those ahead of time. <br />Yes, the Training Day events are mandatory work assignments for every employee, just like any <br />other work assignment. Supervisors are expected to attend and make arrangements so that it is <br />possible for all employees to attend. If necessary, make the appropriate schedule changes for <br />employees. It is certainly understood that we have to maintain a minimal level of services during <br />the day. For example, we have to deal with emergency sewer pluggings, required inspections, <br />emergency fleet repairs, staff the phones and the front counter, etc. <br />Employees are entitled to do their own thing during lunch (12:00 pm to 12:30 pm). Part of this <br />session is for employee team building, organizational development, and employee recognition. I <br />would expect that supervisors encourage all of their employees to sign up and attend the <br />luncheon. Those employees that choose not to attend need to be back in the large bay room by <br />12:30 pm. <br />The one agenda item that is a required training for most employees is Bloodborne Pathogens. <br />Since we are shut down for the day anyhow, it would be wise to get everybody possible in this <br />session. We will likely have to schedule a training at a later date for those that cannot attend this <br />one. <br />As an incentive for employees to attend all of the sessions, several door prizes will be given <br />away throughout the day. Several of these will be given during the lunch period. <br />
