Staff retention and turnover has been top-of-mind for many institutions as the higher education workforce follows the broader trend known as the Great Resignation. According to CUPA-HR’s 2022 survey, more than half of college employees report that they will likely leave their jobs in the next year. And although 75% believe their work has purpose, many are seeking improved working conditions, including pay equity, flexible work options, advancement opportunities, and improved work/life balance.
Join Dr. Karen Whitney, President Emerita, Clarion University, for a discussion about how workplace practices can keep pace with employee expectations and how to package those best practices in your hiring process. In this free discussion-based session, she will offer insights on how the following three levels make for favorable work conditions:
Individuals: What can each of us do to construct our own positive working conditions?
Supervisors: How can the supervisor contribute to a more positive work culture?
The Institution: What can the institution create for its employees?
