Particular points of pride include the commitment to being innovative and distinct, and the strong sense of community. Faculty and staff very much appreciate the ability to make a difference in the lives of students and the reputation in the community. They appreciate the commitment to being a diverse and inclusive community but recognize there is still work to be done. Faculty and staff report high degrees of job fit and appreciate the flexibility and autonomy they have as well as the benefits and the support for work/life balance. Faculty and Staff report having good relationships with and high regard for their supervisors. They also report a need for greater consistency and enhanced managerial/leadership skills, specifically those regarding communication, performance management and accountability.

© All rights reserved 6 Overarching Themes While there is a strong sense of community within many departments, the strength of that camaraderie does not consistently translate to strong cross-functional collaboration or a sense of alignment across the College. Resource constraints particularly those regarding staffing and compensation are pain points for many faculty and staff. Faculty and staff would like to see greater communication from and with senior leadership, as well as a greater sense of alignment across senior leadership. Both faculty and staff express a need for improved communications. There is a desire for more transparency regarding the rationale with which decisions are made and an interest in greater participation in those decisions which directly impact their work.
