Tom Mauriello sends greetings live from his kitchen. That's a pig cutting board on the wall. It's infamous. Ask him about it. 

  • It might come as a shock, but not all Reliant staff check their emails. There is a lot of vital info coming out now and over the next few months that we'll be communicating to people's Reliant emails. Can you help by encouraging your Reliant co-workers to check their Reliant email regularly? A great hack to this is to view Reliant emails in one's main email in-box. For more on that, check out this Solomon page and scroll down to "How to Use Multiple Email Accounts."

  • Good news! Your Reliant Central Team is still processing gifts quickly and working hard to serve you well. 
  • Out of extreme caution, the Central Team will continue working remotely for a while, even as the state of Florida opens up. 
  • If you have local concerns (maybe you have medical needs or concerns), we encourage you to continue physical distancing. As an employee, Reliant doesn't want you to feel pressure to do anything you feel wouldn't be safe for you or your family or someone in your household. If you have questions, talk to your supervisor or contact the Reliant office. We are here to help.

  • We are very pleased to report MTD is going really well on the whole. 
  • We do recognize while it's going well for many, that might not be the case for your specific situation. If this is you, please reach out to your MTD Coach or your program team lead. We want to help. 
  • God's people are still giving. There are enough people who are still able to give and want to be a part of mission giving. 
  • You can check out the MTD During COVID-19 page on Solomon for more tips on how to do MTD during this time of social distancing. 
  • Our training used to say in-person is better for MTD appointments, but we do not consider in-person MTD appointments essential right now. We do ask you approach MTD appointments virtually or over video. If someone invites you to their house or to walk with you outdoors and stay socially distant, we'll trust that decision between you, your supervisor and your MTD Coach. But, we don't want staff initiating or pressing people into in-person meetings in case they're not ready for it or don't feel safe. Since we're now seeing video appointments are as effective as in-person for casting vision and connecting, we feel confident recommending them to you. An added bonus is they are easier to schedule (sometimes scheduling and attending a meeting all within the same hour) and you can attend more in one day than the traditional in-person appointment. If you haven't had a video appointment for MTD yet, contact your MTD Coach to set up a practice session. This is a skill to build right now, regardless if you're in an active MTD season or not. Don't know who your coach is or need extra help? Contact the Reliant office.
  • June and August New Staff Trainings will be virtual. We wouldn't be surprised if all trainings are virtual through the end of the year. Right now we are also hosting a virtual intern training.

  • Q: With video appointments, how is the "Names Ask" going? Just as fruitful? Less? - Chad Frank
    • A: It is going the same as normal. Follow-up to this ask is critical. A great way to ask is, "Who do you know that I should know?" 
  • Q: Is the HR training required for interns and residents? - Seminole Christian Life 
    • A: Yes. It is required for all Reliant employees. For those whose internship or residency is ending before the deadline, it's not required, but is still recommended. All new staff, as they come on, will do the training. 
  • Q: If we have taken these classes recently through other organizations, do we still have to take them again? - Sarah Swann
    • A: If it is the exact same training, then we won't have you take it again. You can reach out to Julie Thomas for this exception. Even if we certify you for this year, everyone will be taking them again next year since they are annual trainings. 
  • Q: If I'm currently Associate status, do I still need to take the HR training? If so, what version do I need to take? - David Park
    • A: Yes, you still will take the HR trainings because propriety is for everyone. If you supervise someone or are a pastor, minister or field manager, then you will take the field level one. If you aren't sure, reach out to your Program Liaison or to Julie Thomas. 
  • Q: I'm a little confused on who "Program Liaisons" are. Can you clarify? - Seminole Christian Life
    • A: At Reliant, we've made a shift to giving dedicated program teams to the large groups we work with. For example, Collegiate's liaison is KZ, International's liaison is Bethany Orys, Intern and Residency program liaison is Carly Erskine, donor liaisons are Judi Major and Natalia Perez. You can find liaison contact info on this Central Staff Contact List - ARCHIVED. *When in doubt, contact Kathy.Zellinger@reliant.org and she will put you in touch with the right person. 
  • Q: Any updates on when StaffNet will be getting some upgrades? - Dave Schubert
    • A: The future of StaffNet, DevNet and CoachNet is for them to go away and for everyone to move to Toolbox. Go check it out. You have access. We don't have a timeline yet on when StaffNet will be going away. But, there will be no new features. All new development is being built into Toolbox. 
  • Q: In regards to the survey due date, what about staff that are on sabbatical? - Raegan Michelle McAdams
    • A: The survey is not mandatory, although we'd love everyone to take it. You can reach out to those on sabbatical and ask them if they want to give their input through the survey.
      The trainings are mandatory and will need to be completed by the August 7th deadline, even if you're on sabbatical. If someone is on leave (medical leave, personal leave), they will be granted an exception, but will have to take the trainings after they return from leave. 
  • Q: I don't see the survey in my email. Who would it come from? - Ashley Ramirez
    • A: It hasn't been sent yet. You should see it later this week. It will come from SurveyMonkey. It should be titled "Reliant Culture Survey." 
  • Q: Is there a possibility the survey or training emails may go to my junk folder? - Barb Seckler
    • A: Yes! If someone else on your team has received theirs and you haven't, check your junk or spam boxes. 
  • Q: Do you have the results from the comprehensive review of Reliant conducted by Cantey Hanger, Scott Fredricks' law firm? - Anonymous
    • A: Scott Fredricks and Cantey Hanger have been assisting us both with review and investigation of past cases of abuse or harassment at Reliant and with the churches we serve. They've also been advising us comprehensively on our policies. The reviews are not comprehensive of all of Reliant, they pertain to specific situations or findings and are not completecompleted. The results of any current reviews will be made later this year once we get the results, and there will be a public report we will share. They are assisting us in an ongoing way with a comprehensive review of policies, standards, and procedures. Also, Cantey Hanger has not found or uncovered other instances of abuse within Reliant staff or churches. They are currently focused on the instances we've directed them to investigate. 
  • Q: Tom, can you explain the pig on your wall? - Averie Wendt
    • A: If you are lucky enough to have a pig cutting board, it is worthy of wall display. Feel free to name it. Tom's taking suggestions.
