Career Framework
Management and Professional Staff
In February 2012, Board approval was granted to introduce a new job classification system for our Management and Professional Staff.
In order to support the evolving organization as well as support employees in determining their career opportunities, this new framework has many positive aspects which include:
-
A modern and robust tool which provides an equitable and consistent overall compensation structure
-
Identifies benchmark jobs by level of expertise, when determining market competitiveness
-
Allows for distinction between the diverse groups of Management and Professional Staff roles
HR is partnering with Towers Watson, a leading global professional services company, to create a more consistent, equitable, and industry-leading job classification system. Many initiatives have been identified for the Management and Professional Staff group and this is only one of what we believe are exciting opportunities for all Management and Professional Staff.
As an organization, we are working towards achieving our Eyes High initiative and we believe this is a step in the direction to the success of the vision.
Management and Professional Staff are a key part of the University and its future
As part of our focus to attract, retain and develop key talent, we are introducing an equitable and consistent Career Framework for Management and Professional Staff.
