We would like to present the members of the Employee Engagement Team to City Council and City of Savannah Residents. 

The Employee Engagement Team (EET) is made-up of a diverse group of employees who are passionate about engagement and have a willingness and capacity to participate in member meetings and activities.

The Employee Engagement Team was created to give employees representation and a voice to senior leadership to enhance the workplace experience. More specifically, the purpose of the Employee Engagement Team is to enhance employee relations and increase employee morale by: 

1. Promoting a positive team culture for all City of Savannah employees
2. Identifying employee concerns and recommending solutions
3. Assisting in the development of employee relations programs
4. Encouraging effective communication throughout the organization
5. Educating employees about the benefits and perks of employment

Since our first official working meeting in August of 2022 our team has truly invested our time in focusing on both the successes and challenges of employment with the City of Savannah.  Through the use of city-wide surveys, feedback sessions, and conversations with our fellow members of team Savannah, the goal of the Employee Engagement Team (EET) is to be the voice of team members at every level and to create a bridge between leadership and employees. EET has the opportunity to bring employee thoughts, suggestions and concerns to members of leadership that can create programs and initiatives that both recognize our accomplishments and find creative solutions to our challenges. 

Some of the current projects include:

• Employee of the Quarter / Employee of the Year rewarding everyday heroes and amazing acts
• A revamping of the Years of Service program into a robust recognition initiative
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion education
• Exploration of programs and policies that meet the needs of changing work cultures to increase recruitment and retention 
• Employee raffles for local events such as concerts and sporting events
• Creating opportunities for full employee involvement and engagement such as partnering with Government Operations for the city-wide clean-up day and pushing for the first annual Team Savannah Kickball game which included participants from all service centers.

We would like to present the winners of the Employee of the Quarter for the Second Quarter 2023.  These amazing individuals were nominated by their co-workers for standing out in the crowd and being a representation of what it really means to be a part of Team Savannah. (Names to be determined by 7/15/23)
