  Administrative Services

The Division of Administrative Services leads management and oversight of OHR's procurements and contracts, budget administration and financial management, the Health Insurance and Wellness team, Records Management team, and Occupational Medical Services team.

The Health Insurance team manages and administers the County's health and welfare plans in accordance with County policy and local, State, and Federal laws. In addition to maintaining operations associated with annual open enrollment and program eligibility, the team provides customer service, communications, education, and counseling to County employees, participating County agency employees, retirees, and their dependents in a manner that ensures an understanding of program provisions and their value as part of total compensation. The Wellness Program uses a dynamic, comprehensive, and data-driven strategy to promote employee engagement in health and well-being. The Wellness Program provides employee wellness activities such as health screenings, educational seminars, wellness and fitness classes, and incentive programs, and utilizes communication channels such as web, social media, and a monthly newsletter.

The Occupational Medical Services team (OMS) (including Fire and Rescue Occupational Medical Services) provides work-related medical and safety-hazard assessments to promote the health and productivity of the County workforce through risk reduction and injury prevention programs. OMS administers the County's drug and alcohol testing, centralized Family and Medical Leave programs, and the County's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) program.

The Records Management team manages and maintains HR records information and processes pertaining to the County's official personnel files by ensuring the compliance and protection of confidential employee documents as required by County, State, and/or Federal law. Records Management manually establishes new employee records to ensure accuracy, proper documentation, and on-time completion. Records Management also reviews and approves all assignment actions submitted by the HR Liaisons and ensures records are electronically transmitted to the proper official personnel file.
