Staff Enrichment

It is vital we foster a workplace environment that enables staff to be key contributors to UC’s success. Through investments in the personal and professional growth of our employees, we can ensure employee fulfillment, an effective organization, and quality student experience.

• Cultivate a workplace environment that engages and aligns staff participation, support, and accountability to improve organizational functioning.
• Enable staff to be critical contributors to UC's mission of education, research, and service through the support and development of personal and professional growth.

• Staff focused Professional Development: The UC Staff Success Center inspires staff to achieve success by providing impactful learning experiences while focusing on positively influencing the policies, procedures, and culture at the University of Cincinnati. We hope staff continuously refine their knowledge, skills, and abilities to be innovative problem solvers and catalysts for change who improve the world around them. To achieve this goal, UC offers comprehensive professional development workshops, software training for UC applications, and much more.
• Ongoing Learning Opportunities: Supports the growth and retention of Staff through workshops, seminars, and programs offered through the Staff Success Center (SSC), and more.
• Identifying their own path:  Several resources are available to assist staff who want to explore future career growth and opportunities on their own. This may include using Tuition Remission benefits to enroll in an academic program or accessing the LinkedIn Learning library that is available to all employees through UC’s Learning Management System. 

• Staff Senate: The University of Cincinnati Staff Senate is an advisory body to the President of the University and University administration. Staff Senate endeavors to have representative membership from among various UC colleges, divisions and departments.
• Data Collection and Analysis: Through surveys, focus groups, and individual feedback UC continues to seek input from the staff community to drive improvements and initiatives. This includes the UC Community Experience Survey, Top Workplace survey, and UCHR Customer Service feedback. 

• Enhanced Onboarding and Orientation: In collaboration with College and Unit HR professionals at UC, we have developed a robust set of resources to plan for a successful onboarding and orientation of new employees at UC.
• UC’s Job Architecture Project: In order to attract and retain top talent, UC has initiated this strategic effort to modernize its compensation philosophy and job architecture while promoting internal pay equity.
