Lynette Garrett
Human Resources


Lynette was presented
and honored before the City Commission
on Tuesday, February 17, 2009

 

Lynette Garrett, Human Resources Specialist I, is usually the first person a new employee meets after they are hired. During the sign in process on their first day of work, Lynette’s friendly, helpful manner makes new employees feel a part of the City as she makes sure they complete the necessary paperwork and answers any questions they may have.

Human Resources, like other City departments, had to make adjustments in certain jobs in order to maintain an acceptable level of service for our customers. Nowhere is this more evident than in our recruiting process. The City’s new online application and hiring system through NEOGOV, has streamlined the requisition process and eliminated the need for so much paper.

During the introduction of NEOGOV, the person that had to make the biggest adjustment was Lynette Garrett. Lynette’s duties and responsibilities of managing the recruiting and intake process changed completely.

The intake process has been revamped, paper applications have been eliminated, and a commitment has been made to have a quick turn around of applications to the departments. Lynette took the lead on training the department liaisons so they can effectively manage their side of the process. She is quick to work out a solution if a department needs help or wants to modify their process.

Lynette has managed to have everything about her job change but she still continues to challenge and change the process for better efficiency and service.

Congratulations!
