Program:

Council Business

 

Old Business:

 

1.     Thank you everyone for your contributions to Holiday Sharing.

2.     November minutes were approved. We need final ok from Kathleen.

3.     Anyone interested in the RADD self defense class contact Becky Campbell at the UVA Police Dept.

4.     Spring Resource fair is Wed. April 18th from 2-4:30pm. We need to get handouts ready for the fair.

 

New Business:

 

1.     Susan Carkeek, the new Chief Human Resources Officer came as a guest. Susan is visiting all the council groups and gathering information regarding employee issues. One issue Susan will be working on is to reduce paper usage and having a more automated system for employees.  An example of that is the new applicant tracking system that is being developed.  With the new automated system, applicants will be able to apply on line.  The new system is planned to go live on July 31, 2007.

2.     It was suggested by the council that HR consider a method of providing up-to-date leave balances online for employees.

3.     W2s will be mailed again this year and will also be available on line.

4.     There is a need for a website where classified/University staff employees can communicate with each other across the University.  Currently there is no method of expressing concerns, comments, etc.  (Letters to the editor in Inside UVA, etc)

5.     It was suggested that HR send out an email to employees regarding the staff changes in HR, so departments know who to contact.

 

 

Work Session

Things Discussed:

 

1.     We need to get new employee listing every month.

2.     How can we improve the timing of the minutes?

3.     Update Representatives and the departments served.

4.     Letter to new employees.

5.     Orientation for new council members.
