Cook County Corruption Chronicles. . . . Part 47
Excerpts from the second semi-annual report by Shakman Compliance Administrator (CA) Julia M. Nowicki:
5. Establish a Separate, Independent Human Resources Function for the Bureau of Public Health
The CA is aware that there have been recent changes related to the human resources function of the Bureau of Health and there appears to be a transitioning of those functions back to the Bureau of Health and away from the Bureau of HR. The CA and her staff have spent time discussing the current significant difficulties encountered by the Bureau of Health in the areas of recruiting and hiring, and it is her opinion that it would be more efficient and effective for the Bureau of Health to establish an independent hiring process, one that is specifically designed to meet its specialized employment needs. Nevertheless, the Bureau of Health’s hiring practices and policies are covered under the SRO and the CCPC, and the CA would intend to work closely with the bureau of Health in such a project. Furthermore, although the Bureau of Health has special needs, the majority, if not all, of the recommendations contained in this document would apply to it as well as other entities covered by the SRO and the CCPC. The CA recommends further in depth study of the unique and complex issues confronting the Bureau of Health, but she expects that many of the recommendations contained in this document will also apply to it.
