Valuing People
A set of core values guide our efforts for the university and our work environments.
In our workplace and relationships we:
- are honest, supportive and sensitive in our communications.
- respect and value the individual and cultural differences of people
- support innovation, creativity and risk-taking.
- learn from our failures and celebrate our successes.
- are fair and forthright in all our dealings.
- confront problems and issues openly and directly.
- cultivate an environment of collegiality and trust.
These values are the foundation upon which we have found success and continue to work toward the goals outlined in the university’s Human Resources Plan.
The University’s Human Resources Plan
In support of the university’s “Second Integrated Plan: Toward an Engaged University,” the university’s Human Resources Plan identifies five strategic initiatives:
- recruit
- align
- develop
- engage
- reward
These initiatives, and the processes and activities within them, form a comprehensive people strategy designed to support our leaders, faculty and staff in contributing to their full capacity—fully engaged, healthy and well, and aligned with the directions of the organization.
