Personnel. Board Minutes <br /> Meeting of October 24 , 1983 Page <br /> Privacy for Personnel Office , cont . <br /> Caroline asked if the area for the accountant was going to be big <br /> enough , Joe said that it would be as she does not need everything <br /> which is currently in her office . <br /> Dave commented that he spends a lot of time in office buildings which <br /> are able to control noises with cubicles . Joe said that in his experi- <br /> ence with 5 to 6 foot panels , you could still hear what is being said <br /> on the opposite wall . He suggested that as a temporary measure the <br /> Personnel office be put in the Planning Board Room as he did not feel <br /> the town coulee afford the cost of panels at this time . <br /> Discussion was also made on the telephone and who would answer it . <br /> Toe assured the Board that there would not be a problem, <br /> Exit Interview Forms <br /> Dave asked Joe if he thought an exit interview form would be useful . <br /> Joe said that it could be helpful if used properly. Dave asked what <br /> Joe ' s opinion would be if -there was a dace for both the department <br /> head and the employee to sign. Joe said that if the employee knows <br /> the department head would be seeing the form , he might be reluctant . <br /> Dave asked if the information gathered should be fedback Toe replied <br /> that you would not know how accurate it is . He suggested that the <br /> Board determine what they- are looking for ; i .e . if they are trying to <br /> find out for better working conditions or input for negotiation process , <br /> etc , <br /> Dave commented that it would be a way to get bad feelings out in the <br /> open and have employee vent some steam . H said that way perhaps you <br /> could keep employees longer , He thought both should sign the fora or <br /> have employee fill out the fora with the Personnel Board and feed i <br /> back. <br /> Manny suggested that an employee be asked if they would be negative to <br /> showing it and if he were , then you would know if he had been straight . <br /> Dave said he felt that it gives the employee a chance to. unload on a <br /> department head without having to defend himself . Joe said that in the <br /> case of ars employee who feels animosity and vents ra h , the department <br /> head would have last laugh if asked to give a recommendation from a <br /> future employer . <br /> Dave said he still thought that it would be viable if both sit down and <br /> sign it together , <br /> Joe suggested again that the Board look at the basic purpose for using <br /> an exit interview form . <br /> Manny said that there is too much turnover in Personnel and that the <br /> objective is o see if e can bring about a lessening of people leaving <br /> the town ' s employ. <br />
