Workforce Team Updates
Please take note of some very important announcements from our Workforce Team.
1. In order to ensure program compliance there have been a few changes to our onboarding process. In the upcoming weeks, the Workforce Team will contact employees who utilize their personal vehicle to transport individuals via their CFS email to complete the Personal Auto Usage for Agency Business Policy & Attestation along with other necessary requested documentation.
SDS Families have all been contacted to advise whether your self-hired employee(s) drive or not. Regardless, if your self-hired employee(s) operate a motor vehicle or not we kindly ask you complete the questionnaire and indicate that they are not a driver. All self-hired employees will receive a formal "authorized to drive" or "not authorized to drive" notification.
Please click the link below to indicate if your self-hired employee(s) utilize a vehicle to transport.

2. We understand and value the importance of onboarding self-hired employees as quickly and as efficiently as possible. We ask for your support to efficiently onboard you prospective new employees. Please consider checking in at the mark of each phase email sent to the employee(s). All members of the circle of support (COS) are cc'd through the entirety of the onboarding process. Checking in is welcome! We do ask for your support in limiting the number of inquiries to ensure we are putting forth all efforts on onboarding processes versus responding to a high volume of inqueries.

Self-Hired Employee Clearance Process
4. Employee of the Month: The Workforce Committee is excited to announce the re-launch of the CFS Employee of the Month recognition program! Anyone – DSPs, supervisors, managers, or administrators – are eligible to be employee of the month. Anyone can submit a nomination on behalf of anyone, not just the employee’s supervisor.
By re-starting this process, we’re looking forward to hearing the innovative ways we’re supporting those we work with and all the great things that are going on across the organization! Winners will be announced each month and will win a $125 gift card. They will also be invited to an employee recognition celebration later in the year.
The nomination form website has all the criteria we’ll be considering when reviewing DSP submissions as well as for other staff. We thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully complete the form so we can best assess each nominated staff member.
