The Officers of Administration Council has been actively engaged in discussions with Human Resources about developing policies that strengthen OA employment practices at the university. These discussions are a direct result of feedback from OAs expressing concern with existing policies and practices.

We are pleased that HR began an initiative to establish an independent suite of policies designed to address the specific employment issues of OAs, and that this initiative has reached an important next step in the approval and implementation process. The proposed OA policies are now available for your review and open for public comment.

Information about the process, the draft policies, and the comment form are available on the OA Policy Development webpage.

Your OA Council members strongly encourage active OA participation in this important initiative. You can engage in the process by reviewing the policies, submitting a comment form, or attending a discussion session:

OA Council is pleased with the progress of HR and the OA Policy Advisory Team. With additional feedback from the campus community, especially OAs, we are confident that the implementation of policies specific to OAs will strengthen employment practices at the university.

The University of Oregon’s Division of Equity and Inclusion is putting the muscle of money behind the effort to multiply and spread inclusion proficiency across campus.

Vice President Yvette Alex-Assensoh is unveiling the Division of Equity and Inclusion’s Staff Professional Development Grant, to help UO employees develop skills that facilitate the institutionalization of equity, inclusion and diversity on campus.

The grant includes attending a conference for the purpose of learning new skills, completing online course work, developing training expertise or honing existing skills in support of equity, inclusion and diversity. Eligible staff may receive as much as $1,200 per academic year to cover expenses related to professional development consistent with the goals of the IDEAL framework.

VP Alex-Assensoh will share information on the process and timeline for grant application and award, at the special officers of administration meeting on May 26, 2016, 10:00-11:30 a.m. at the Ford Alumni Center Giustina Ballroom (and by webcast in Portland at the White Stag Building Room 150).

The OA Council and UO Human Resources are sponsoring a special meeting to update officers of administration on several critical HR topics.

Thursday, May 26, 10:00–11:30 a.m.
Ford Alumni Center Ballroom and White Stag Building Room 150
RSVP for the May 26, 2016 OA Special Meeting

Human Resources is sponsoring this special meeting, and has reserved the Giustina Ballroom in the Ford Alumni Center so that all interested officers of administration will be able to attend and hear this important information.

As part of the Human Resources Year of Transformation, HR will share in detail its work to strengthen and standardize OA employment practices. Specific topics include:

OA Policy Development: The OA Policy Advisory Team is actively developing policies and procedures to govern OA employment at the university. Policies provide reference, guidance and resource for consistent administration of employment practices important to OAs such as performance management, recruitment and selection, and time off. HR will share information on policy development and opportunities in the future for OAs to engage in the process.

OA Compensation: Initiatives to establish a market-based compensation structure and related standard compensation practices are entering implementation stages with the intention of increasing UO’s ability to attract, reward, and retain OAs. HR will share information about the OA Compensation Project and provide updates on the next action steps and communications plan.

Talent Management: The streamlining of recruitment and talent management processes alongside the implementation of a new talent management system will transform key elements in the OA employment lifecycle. HR will provide an update on the process improvement project and Talent Management System Project and will share insight into how OAs will interface with the system.

At the start of the meeting, Yvette Alex-Assensoh, Vice President for Equity and Inclusion, will present a short overview of the Division of Equity and Inclusion’s Staff Professional Development Grant, to help UO staff develop skills that facilitate the institutionalization of equity, inclusion and diversity on campus.

All UO officers of administration are welcome. We hope to see you there!
