The Department of Personnel/Safety/ Loss Control mission is to create an environment in which the City can provide services and align the departments' functions with the City of Jasper's strategic operations objectives, culture and citizens needs.
To facilitate the mission, our staff coordinates the hiring process, manages the benefits system, develops employment policies, provides information, advice and counseling on employment issues to employees and managers, mediates misunderstandings, oversees certain training and development opportunities, maintains employee records, ensures compliance with employment law, and communicate with employees on issues of relevance and concern.
Our goal is to perform these functions with professionalism, integrity, consistency and caring, and to respect the dignity and diversity of each individual with whom we interact.
This department is under the jurisdiction of the Mayor and is responsible for all employment, safety, and loss control issues within the City of Jasper and currently supports 16 departments with a total employment of over 300 employees.
