While navigating an ever-changing workplace because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Maricopa County knew that training and onboarding new employees would require processes and materials that were flexible and adaptable. In that regard, the Maricopa County Office of Budget and Finance revamped and redesigned their training process to be 100% virtual in an attempt to supplement the county's response of expanding teleworking opportunities for new and current employees. The "Budget Analyst Essentials Suite" (BAES) provides new employees with a comprehensive array of virtual materials and demonstrations that detail the budget process, financial systems, chart of account elements, forecasting, and much more. This program ensures that new employees can train and interact with current employees from their homes or in limited office capacity while avoiding exposure to potential illness. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Budget Analyst Essentials Suite enhances the working conditions for the Maricopa County Office of Budget and Finance by setting the standard for public organizations and their ability to adapt in the face of adversity through increased accessibility.
