Personnel Board delays handbook vote, sets aside remote work policy
Personnel Board · Meeting of April 8, 2026
Concord Personnel Board delays handbook vote to May, defers remote work policy. The Board postponed action on an updated employee handbook during its April 8 meeting, with Assistant Town Manager and Director of Human Resources Jessica Porter reporting that the Town Manager requires more review time. A remote work policy will not be included in the first draft due to lack of consensus among senior managers.
First-quarter personnel reporting showed 10 employee departures and 18 open regular-status positions, representing a 3.1 percent turnover rate projected to 12 percent annually if sustained.
