CSC Listening Session Debrief
First Impressions
- Want interaction with the dean
- However in past, staff have not attended the Faculty and Staff Forum.
- Variety of reasons for this:
- the meeting isn't geared toward staff
- staff may not be allowed to take time away from job to attend
- staff may not feel comfortable requesting time to attend
- Variety of reasons for this:
- Ideas to improve staff attendance to a meeting with staff & dean:
- Invitations to speak with dean separately from faculty
- If not meeting with dean, perhaps associate dean of faculty and staff development - Kathleen Bollard
- However in past, staff have not attended the Faculty and Staff Forum.
- Shifting the Campus Culture for staff
- How do we shift that culture?
- Perhaps invite staff to a virtual town hall someone who specializes in culture change
- Recognition distinct from faculty
- Welcome packet with FAQ, Org chart, etc
- How do we shift that culture?
What do we do with the information?
- Ideas:
- Multi-pronged approach-
- Communications - send out update to all staff
- Summary of all of the points
- Interim CSC Bylaws - Send those out to all staff for review and vote
- Communications - send out update to all staff
- Multi-pronged approach-
How do we bring these concerns to leadership?
- Morale & Recognition
- Dean’s Notes - profile staff as well
- Featured in September for elections and nominations
- Engage Kathleen Bollard
- Recognizing milestones
- Central HR may have started something - certificate, then breakfast
- CONSISTENT Recognition of work anniversaries
- Maybe a card to send out to all staff to say thank you
Future Ideas/Recommendations for addressing concerns:
- Staff Survey to get more information from all staff
- Kathleen attend future meetings - if her schedule permits it
- Future staff achievements listed in Dean's Notes
- More widespread work climate changes addressed
CSC Interim Bylaws
- Bylaws - not gonna get lots of staff participation - busy time of year
- Need to get out anyway, because this year will be difficult anyway
- Invite staff to review and make suggestions with email that goes out by August 24th
