Have a day designated for "bring your child to work day" similar to the state offices. I personally have a 6 year old who has gone with my mother in law to work but has asked why she can't ever come with me.

Create a new platform for collecting ideas from employees.  The new system should allow others to see the ideas and vote for them.

Suggestion for an internal craigslist site just for staff to use to list any items they have for free, for sale, for trade.

It would be extremely beneficial to have more outdoor tables and seating on the back patios behind the 8400 and 8380 buildings. 

Since the majority of EGPD employees have returned to working in the office full time outdoor tables can provide socially distant seating for lunchtime / breaks. 

Improve the outdoor patio with shade sail(s) (rather than umbrellas, as these are less effective).  

I think it would be extremely beneficial to provide a tour of the City to the employees, highlighting new projects and developments.

I was fortunate to participate on a tour given by the Economic Development Department; my group spent about an hour on a bus, learning about new and potential projects in the City. We travelled throughout Elk Grove, passing by empty fields to learn about zoning and construction plans, office buildings under construction to learn about new State offices moving to Elk Grove, and small business to learn about grants and funding opportunities. 

It would be fantastic if on a quarterly basis, interested employees could sign up and go on an hour – long bus tour around the city. This tour would help employees from all departments stay current on city projects and would ensure, to an extent that employees were relaying correct information about projects to the public.
