In a recent in-person gathering, the Finance and Administration (A&F) department unveiled critical updates concerning budgetary matters, remote work strategies, and employee milestones. Held at the School of Nursing auditorium, this 90-minute session provided an opportunity for employees to engage with leadership directly.
During the event, Dawn Rhodes, the chief business financial officer and senior vice president for A&F, joined Karen Park, executive director of Strategic Projects and chief of staff, to guide discussions. They explored the fiscal health of both the department and the university as a whole, while also addressing evolving policies regarding hybrid work environments. Nicole Palmore, who leads Employee and Organizational Success, highlighted future initiatives aimed at fostering professional growth, while Zandra Rawlinson distributed accolades recognizing outstanding contributions by team members.
The occasion underscored the importance of transparency and collaboration within large organizations. By engaging employees through open forums like these town halls, institutions can foster trust and encourage active participation from their workforce. Such practices not only enhance communication but also inspire collective efforts towards achieving shared goals, thereby promoting a more dynamic and supportive workplace culture.
