E. Employee Relations <br /> Employees have the opportunity to meet confidentially with the Employee Relations <br /> Officer to discuss any work-related problem. <br /> If there is no resolution to the problem, the employee may access the Orange County <br /> Grievance Procedure. A copy of the grievance procedure is provided to each new <br /> employee during the New Employee Orientation Program and periodically is <br /> explained to all employees through the employee newsletter or other means. It also <br /> is made available to an employee at his or her request. <br /> F. Training and Employee Development <br /> Each new employee is required to attend the New Employee Orientation Program <br /> which includes an explanation of key personnel policies such as those covering equal <br /> opportunity, sexual harassment and the grievance procedure. <br /> The Personnel Department conducts in-house training programs which are offered to <br /> all County employees. All employees are encouraged to participate and most training <br /> programs are considered as hours worked.
