Evergreen Solutions was retained by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) to conduct a Comprehensive Classification and Compensation Study. Evergreens’ consultants assisted CCSO to implement a system that would be designed to retain current staff, attract qualified and high caliber new employees – through the use of a fair classification and compensation structure that was competitive with other neighboring counties, municipalities and cities within the same geographical area. Specific focus addressed: recruitment and retention of qualified staff as economic improvements are experienced.
