HR Annual Impact Report 2021-2022

In Case You Missed It

Step Plan Introduced The City introduced a new pay plan for general employees. Some of you expressed concerns that merit raises were not always fairly administered. The Step Plan is designed to take away departments’ discretion. It gives employees predictable and pre

determined pay increases each year. New Incentives for Bilingual Staff

Greensboro’s diversity is a major asset. Residents speak more than 30 languages. We have a legal responsibility to provide non-English speakers with equal access to services. We are working to attract and retain talent with language skills. This year, we increased bilingual pay by 250 percent. Team members can now earn $2,500 annually. Public Safety Incentives and Bonuses Promoting safe communities is a top priority. We have adopted a number of incentives this year to help attract and retain emergency communications specialists, fire fighters and police officers. These enhancements include signing bonuses, night shift premium pay, and incentives for honorable military service and certified fire fighters and emergency medical technicians. HR Pops Up In 2022, HR decided to “pop-up” around the City. HR quarterly pop-up topics included training, professional development, benefits, and wellness. By the end of 2022, additional topics such as compensation, salary structures, recruitment and career development will be covered. We will continue our intentional efforts to reach all employees.
