The Inside Scoop

Props to Register of Deeds

Yep, props. As in what's told by the state's association of county commissioners to the Guilford County Register of Deeds office. By spending $30,000, the office saved $360,000 through the county with a cross-training program.

"I figured it up," said Register of Deeds Jeff Thigpen, "We’ve gone from 33 to 27 employees by January 1 (and saved) in the salaries to the people."

The $30,000 was to cross-train remaining employees to fill other duties as needed.

"Through cross-training, I was able to move more employees to front-line responsibilities," he said.

Thigpen said that the Register of Deeds office is one of ten government offices across the state that earned the annual award from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, which will announce the award on Aug. 28 at its annual meeting.
