* Trash /Recycle: Color code or somehow differentiate between trash and recycle <br /> barrels. There was too much inter - mixing of trash and recycle items. <br /> * Employee Awards: Most employees are in their seats and ready to go by 7:30. Have <br /> the Divisional Employee Awards for leadership, etc. presented at the end of breakfast <br /> (7:30 ?) while both Divisions are together. This would add more significance to the <br /> awards rather than have them part of the Safety Awards for each Division. It also enables <br /> employees from each Division to see who was getting recognized. You could alternate <br /> between Divisions for each award. It's a good way to "kick off' and generate interest in <br /> the day's festivities. It would also free up more time for the Safety Awards which <br /> sometimes run a little long and then impacts the start of the different class electives. <br /> * Committee Formation and Work: Start in September /October. We need to line up <br /> speakers, etc. sooner. For the sake of experience and continuity, have some members of <br /> the previous year's committee serve on the present year's committee. This could be <br /> accomplished by making the Safety & Training Day Committee a two year commitment. <br /> The second year employees could then begin work on the issues needing attention (e.g. <br /> new employee photos, topics, and speakers). <br /> * S &T Day format: Half or full day? Decide well before September. Full day is too <br /> cumbersome and logistically difficult with too many classes to line up. How do you use <br /> the afternoon of S &T Day? Have individual Crew meetings /trainings and/or use the <br /> afternoon to start clean up and readiness for Public Works Day in May. Have different <br /> work groups work together on different work projects or show each other what they do <br /> and the equipment they operate in their day to day job? It's the wrong time of year for an <br /> Equipment Rodeo. <br /> * Safety Awards Format: Are things getting "stale "? Do we need a different format? <br /> Have the employees receive their annual Safety Incentive Award from their supervisor? <br /> Keep the Progressive Safety jacket awards the same. Ask employee what they want. <br /> * Publicity: Improve outreach to staff by distributing copies of course selection early via email <br /> and mailboxes. Post large, graphically interesting "event" posters of courses available around <br /> yard at least one week prior to event versus posting actual event program. <br /> • <br />
