Recognition and Benefits
In addition to training and professional development opportunities employees also noted
a variety of ways they would like to have their work recognized and their value affirmed
by the College. Employees offered the following suggestions most often:
- Increase recognition of staff in official communications
- Provide bonuses to recognize extraordinary performance, special assignments
taken on, etc.
- Increase “special benefits” to staff: this could include discounted tickets to HOP
events, to the gym
- Provide maternity leave for employees having a baby or adopting one rather than
short-term disability leave
- Provide more support for day care expenses
- Consider flexible work time for positions where work can be done off-campus or
after regular business hours
- Sponsor social events, subsidized lunches, more open meetings, more
opportunities to meet people across areas.
While it may not be practicable or desirable to implement all of these suggestions, the
College and Human Resources in particular should consider how to move forward with
some of these ideas. The Office of Human Resources should also encourage staff to
submit ideas on how the College can recognize and reward employees.
