Clearly, she made a great impression as she was offered a full-time role in September of that same year. The City has benefited from her work ethic and sincere desire to serve and support ever since. In several roles in Finance and now HR, Lindsey has demonstrated over and over again the values of Integrity and Quality in Everything We Do. As the Benefits Specialist, Lindsey's primary responsibility is helping members of our benefits plan with any benefit related issues. The fourth quarter of each year is always a busy one as it includes both the annual Benefits & Wellness Fair and the Open Enrollment period in addition to other reporting and administrative deadlines. These tasks carry a tremendous coordination and communication workload and Lindsey takes the lead with support from the rest of the HR team. One of Lindsey's other areas of responsibility is employee data management. She is the go to person for supervisors regarding the Personal Action Form process. She takes great pride in accurately entering and reviewing data that impacts employee pay and benefits. Each year in the fourth quarter, Lindsey works with Police Department administration to process status changes associated with the Meet and Confer agreement. This year, we had a tremendous amount of changes for other staff. Because of the nature of the adjustments, there was no feasible "batch" option. Each change for each employee was unique and thus had to be reviewed and entered separately. Lindsey went above and beyond to enter 239 actions in a small time frame so that the changes would be effective as intended. She did this with no complaint and with a hi was completed. Lindsey consistently impresses her manager with her ability to recall from memory employee names, job titles, and other information about the 350+ employees that serve the La Porte community. She develops and maintains trusted relationships with employees across the organization. This is a testament to her attention to detail and her public service mindset. th Please join me in congratulating Lindsey as the Employee of the 4 Quarter for 2019.
