IT has put together a self-help checklist for easy transition.

The primary groups that will receive your input are Human Resources, members of the administration, or the President’s Council, depending on the subject and the impact of the recommendation. At times, this could be just one director or VP. At other times, it could be the whole group.

The Staff AC acts as a voice for staff and the council’s goal is to represent your respective areas. The primary purpose is to improve communication across campus, addressing staff issues in an on-going manner, rather than waiting for a staff survey, which is not given on a regular basis. It is the council’s responsibility to get the right people together and to help facilitate the process of getting a response or resolution to issues raised.

The AVP of Human Resources (HR) would act as a liaison. For example, let’s say there is an issue with mail services. Human Resources’ job would be to get background information, if available to the Staff AC and then bring the Staff AC or its selected subset together with the appropriate decision-makers in mail services. HR would reinforce the fact that the Staff AC is representing staff and that it is in the best interest of the department to address the issues raised. HR would be the primary contact for getting a response from a department, and would also advise the Staff AC with cautions or alternative approaches that would be more successful.

The Staff AC communicates with staff primarily through email and the Furman University Staff AC Updates Facebook group. An email newsletter–highlighting campus updates, staff accomplishments, and timely information–is sent throughout the year. Occasionally items are sent through campus mail, including Purple Envelopes and work anniversary cards.
