Strategic Directions

Drop Shadow

Ideas from the Finance & Administration Spring Managers’ Retreat

Describe how your department will contribute to Catholic Social Thought.

The ideas listed below are neither contracts nor commitments--they are ideas generated during a 15-minute brainstorming session by participants at the retreat. The participants were given no advance warning about the exercise, and these ideas represent their initial reactions of rising to the challenge of generating ideas in a short time. The ideas are posted here as a reference for the committee, who may follow up with departments with ideas for contributing to campus manifestations of the values expressed in Catholic Social Thought.

Facilities Management
Idea #1 • Look at all department salaries for equity.
Human Resources
Idea #1 • Work/life balance: help employees understand the balance/pull between work and personal life.
• Support/enhance wellness and other benefits programs.
Idea #2 • Total compensation: keep wages consistent with market.
