Bear Connections & HR Campus Initiatives
As a part of Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s strategic planning, President Feinstein and the Leadership Council identified 5 areas that are critical to Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s success. Under Enhance and Invest, the council recognized that “the success of students relies on a healthy and strong team.â€
In Rowing, Not Drifting 2030, Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s goal is to foster an environment where our employees’ well-being and sense of belonging are supported. Healthy and happy employees help ensure the collective success of the entire campus.
The goal of this page is to highlight some of the programs Â鶹´«Ã½ is initiating to create an environment of employee support and recognition. We want to make Â鶹´«Ã½ a desirable place to work and create a culture of belonging. We need your help, too!
Build a Bear Up
Â鶹´«Ã½ employees can now recognize and surprise a colleague by sending a friendly Â鶹´«Ã½ Bear with a personalized greeting to recognize good work. The HR staff will deliver a Â鶹´«Ã½ bear with a personalized message to the recipient's office.
Let’s build our Bears community up by recognizing one another and taking a moment
to appreciate our friends and colleagues across our campus!
