DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of General Services recommends the Board receive a presentation on the selection of Brandon Henderson as the May 2024 “Employee of the Month” for the County Administration Center Parking Program making him eligible to use the parking space designated for this program.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On September 13, 2005, the Board of Supervisors established the County Government Center “Employee of the Month” parking program for County employees. Each month a County department is designated to select one of its employees as “Employee of the Month.” The Department of General Services has been designated to select an employee for May 2024.
Mr. Henderson began his career with the County on December 8, 2003 as an Extra Help Custodian for the Department of General Services and nine months later was hired as a full-time Custodian. He was promoted in September 2008 to Lead Custodian and in June 2013 to his current position of Custodial Supervisor within the Facilities Operations Division, Custodial Services Bureau.
Mr. Henderson is an integral part of the Facilities Operations Division. During his 20+ year tenure with General Services, Brandon has amassed significant institutional knowledge while assisting the Facilities Operations Manager in day-to-day operations and has assumed expanded supervisory duties. During this time, he has improved operational efficiencies, cleaning techniques, and sustainable product selection for the entire division and has provided excellent customer service. Mr. Henderson spearheads special projects such as window washing, floor care, carpet care, and deep cleaning that improve workspace, public areas, and extend the lifecycle of our facilities. He is instrumental in preparing and monitoring the Custodial Bureau budget and holds himself and his team accountable in performing duties in accordance with the custodial operations manual resulting in excellent customer service. Mr. Henderson’s attention to detail, proactive approach, and professional development efforts have served as a model for others to follow.
As a valuable member of the General Services team, Mr. Henderson is commended and recognized for exemplifying the Department’s core values of teamwork, flexibility, communication, professionalism, and positive attitude. As such, he has been selected as the May 2024 “Employee of the Month.”
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to selecting Mr. Henderson as the Employee of the Month. The cost associated with preparing this agenda item is nominal and absorbed by the Department’s FY2023/24 Working Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could elect to name someone else as the “Employee of the Month”; however, this alternative is not recommended as Mr. Henderson is deserving of the Board of Supervisors “Employee of the Month” Parking Program.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrator’s Office concurs with the Department’s recommendation.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION
