Employee Engagement Work Group Recommendations Come to Life

Recognition and Appreciation Group at Meet HDAE
By Gabrielle Coulousi - October 21, 2024

At the end of the last academic year, the work groups concluded their immense efforts toward researching and working to improve the employee experience around Recognition & Appreciation, Work Life Balance, and Career Advancement. While their work has concluded, their efforts will continue to live on. Each work group identified that giving supervisors the proper tools to support their staff in these three areas is crucial. As a direct result of this recommendation, the AVC’s Office Learning & Development is currently developing a program to do just that.  

In addition to training for supervisors, the WE CARE work group is currently being formed and will be champions for the WE CARE values, bringing them to life while helping to foster a healthy, forward-focused, and supportive culture across the division. Last year, the Recognition & Appreciation group planned a lunchtime event for staff to connect with colleagues across the division while bringing a spark of fun into our work day. As a reminder, we will come together again for the Halloween Spooktacular lunchtime event, staff can bring their lunch to enjoy at the lively gathering. The photo booth will return, as well as the *sweet* celebration. There are still recommendations from the employee engagement work groups that will be integrated into the appropriate departmental areas, so stay tuned to Home Base, The Compass, and be on the lookout for flyers in your break rooms to stay informed.
