Spring 2012: Presentation of Top Initiatives
In the Spring of 2012, the Work-Life Advisory Council presented the Top Survey Initiatives to President Capilouto. The top initiatives were:
To increase trust, value and communication:
- Form a presidential task force on employee (faculty and staff) engagement, with a focus on improving internal communication and employment branding
- Build a more thorough and self-sustaining model of shared governance
- Support the effectiveness of, and compliance with, supervisor and leadership training

2011: Formation of Committees and Development of Observations Report
In June 2011, six members of the Work-Life Advisory Council formed an ad hoc committee to develop initial observations and recommendations that emerged from the Work-Life Survey data. Each attending member of the steering committee worked on observations for a specific issue. Once the information was compiled, Kim Wilson, Associate Vice Present of Human Resources, Dan O’Hair, Dean of the College of Communications and Information Studies, and Robynn Pease, Director, Work-Life met with Office of the President Chief of Staff, Bill Swinford, to discuss the results. Mr. Swinford recommended that the Advisory Council develop key observations to share with President Capilouto. In response, members of the Work-Life Advisory Council volunteered to chair committees that looked at each of the specific issues in greater depth, recruiting members from the university at large to be part of their committees. The report below is a reflection of this process. The report includes a list of key observations, a summary of all observations and reports from each committee.
