The U of A will host its first of three campuswide 150 Forward Progress Updates from 2-3 p.m. today, April 10, at the E.J. Ball Courtroom in the School of Law. A recording of the events will be available on YouTube in the days following each progress update.

A panel of campus leaders alongside Chancellor Robinson will discuss how the university is enhancing its status as an employer of choice. Updates will be provided on a wide range of employee-focused topics including compensation, performance management, onboarding, career paths, policies and processes, and the development of an employee value proposition.

Questions submitted by the campus community will also be addressed as time allows.

As part of its employer of choice strategy, the U of A is committed to fostering a work environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging, works toward a meaningful purpose and has the data, resources, connections and foundation of support to be most effective, grow and advance their careers, and thrive in their personal and professional lives.
