We want staff to have a voice in what their future career path looks like going forward, which is why all staff who currently work in HR or finance (and who want an HR or finance role in the future) must express interest in a SET role. SET is intended to be positive for all campus – including staff – by providing staff the opportunity to specialize in a defined area, clear and consistent pathways for advancement and superior service delivery for the whole institution. The strategy for transitioning faculty/staff is being guided by the following principles, as laid out in the Workforce Transition Plan:
- Retain our staff throughout the implementation of SET.
- Fill roles with as many qualified internal staff as possible.
- Make every effort to place people in the roles and college/division of their choice.
- Make the process of expressing interest simple and easy.
- Align current roles that naturally fit with a future state SET role.
- Provide new opportunities for staff that are interested and meet the qualifications.
- Ensure everyone who may be affected has a local contact with them and help outline an individual transition plan.
- Provide comprehensive support and training for new responsibilities.
- Build career paths and opportunities for professional development.
- Ensure colleges and divisions are involved in the process, and coordinate changes across the institution.
