Team Orange,
do some financial planning, or joining a recreational league to satisfy a passion for activities outside of work. When we support you as a “ whole person ” we know this will help employees to bring their very best to the workplace. My favorite part about a new year is the budget! You may think I ’ m crazy for saying this, but for me it is a chance to reflect on how we do things, what is working, what needs adjusting, and what we plan to do next year. Call me a budget nerd if you must, but it is a great time for public leaders to really dig into what makes our organization ’ s tick. Whatever you do with your new year, I know we will all be striving toward a great 2025 for the residents and businesses of Orange County.
With a brand - new year, thoughts often turn to what the future brings for each of
us, in our personal lives and in our careers. In this issue we feature some examples of OC colleagues who set a goal for personal development and achieved it. Is this a good time for you to set a goal for your own personal or professional development? If you have career aspirations, talk to your supervisor or a member of the HR team about how Orange County can help you realize your goals. We have a number of training and educational options to consider. We believe that by investing in your talents and skills, we will build a stronger work team that is better prepared to deliver excellent service to our citizens. When considering personal goals, don ’ t forget about our new Lifestyle Spending Account options. This could be a way to pay for new health or fitness equipment, adopt a furry friend from the shelter, learning a new skill or hobby,
Ted Voorhees,
Orange County Administrator
