Maricopa County is a government agency consisting of elected officials and over 40 departments that serve the public. My department, Human Resources, is headed by Mary Ellen Sheppard, Assistant County Manager and Director of Human Resources. The department is a very important component of the county because hiring employees is its sole responsibility. However, HR does more than that. I don't know all its functions, but I am excited to learn how an HR office functions. Every department in the county has a HR office and representative, but central HR oversees all county departments and employees.
Below is a link to the county's organizational chart:

My first assignment is to work with Employee Development, a division within the county's central human resources department. Employee Development consists of trainers who train all Maricopa County employees. The county is in the beginning stages of purchasing a new Learning Management System (LMS) and I am going to help Employee Development research the wants and don't wants other trainers in the county have for this new LMS. Another assignment assigned to me is to review the county's Market Range Titles (MRTs) and this relates to a policy change HR wishes to propose and implement by the end of the year. The third assignment I will be working on is creating a document summarizing the screening, testing, and hiring process of certain court positions.
