HR Conducts Staff Focus Groups
The Division of Human Resources reported recent accomplishments
on its compensation initiatives in the latest issue of The HR Polytechnote:
http://www.rpi.edu/dept/hr/newsletter/.
HR recently conducted staff focus group sessions to review the proposed
staff administrative support career ladder and proposed titles. More
than 40 employees from each division and school provided feedback.
HR and consultants from Mercer also met with department chairs, area
coordinators, and deans from each school to provide an update on the
Faculty Total Compensation Initiative. According to the Polytechnote,
“Structure design models were shared with each group and feedback
was collected that will prove to be extremely valuable as we proceed
with this key initiative.”
In addition, a faculty advisory group comprised of 30 faculty members
representing each school and 20 departments has been formed to share
perspectives on current pay issues, review best pay practices in higher
education, assist in developing straw models of these best practices,
act as liaison, and share issues and progress of the Total Compensation
Initiative with colleagues. 6/3/02
