Get plugged in to what’s new – Ergonomics update

Have you changed to a new work station and experienced discomfort in your neck or back? What should you do about it? Employees experiencing physical discomfort in their work environment have the opportunity to have the workstation evaluated.

Proper workstation layout, including adjustments of chair, computer and keyboard, allows for a safe, comfortable work environment leading to a more productive work flow. Check out the pointers on the InfoExchange under the Human Resources tab, then by scrolling down to Benefit – Ergonomics, to be sure your station is set up properly.

“If you sit at your desk for long periods of time, my recommendation is to get up and move,” said Robin McClain, MCC’s risk and compliance manager. “You don’t have to leave your general work area. MCC has posted a number of stretches and exercises recommended for those who have desk jobs.”

If you have tried the tips above and have not experienced relief, complete the Ergonomic Office Evaluation found in the same tab.

Any questions on ergonomics can be directed to Robin McClain at 816.604.1124.

New webpage gives employees easier access to accounting info

To simplify communication with MCC’s financial and accounting services department and to provide easier access to financial information, the department is rolling out a new webpage on InfoExchange.

The site, which can be found under the “Business Procedures” tab on the front page of InfoEx, lists contact information for department staff and PDF files of financial documents.

The page is separated into two sections:
· Department Info: names, contact information and area of focus of people you can contact with accounting or financial services questions or matters
· Financial Reports: budget books, fiscal year financial reports, monthly board reports, financial manager’s reports

To access the page:
· Log on to the myMCCKC portal and then select the InfoExchange link from the left-hand menu. (Or access InfoExchange whichever way you normally would.)
· From the InfoEx main page, click on the Business Procedures tab on the upper left-hand side (in the green strip)
· Within the Accounting and Financial Services section (the very first section), click on Accounting and Financial Services Website (the very first link)
