  • Lynn stated the Nursing Expo held this week was a great success.  She added the nursing students were working together on campus giving our healthy snacks this week.

    Review Decision & Action Tracking from last meeting:
    Action items were reviewed and updated from the last meeting (see tracking chart below).
     
    Updates from Sub Teams:
     

Communication: Aida reported the link for ordering TCTC apparel is now on eTC.  To get to the link you will: Log into eTC, go under Employee tab, go to the Celebrate Excellence box, find Employee apparel. The link directs you to all information to order TCTC branded merchandise. Aida stated an announcement will be sent out to all employees next week.  Aida also reported she was working to add people to her team.

Talent Management: No replacement for Lisa Anderson has been given to-date.

 

Recognition: Laura reported that the Employee recognition portal will be live soon.  Her group has reviewed and tested the portal and is working out issues with IT.   Once these issues are resolved, they will re-test and hopefully be ready to go live soon.  Cara reminded everyone that we still have the cards for recognition to use.  Laura also reported since losing people from her team, she has added Courtney Embler from student records, and possibly Hailey McClain from CCE. 

Cara reminded everyone that SET has a small budget of $5000 that can be used.  She asked all to think about this budget as we are preparing budgets for FY19.  The SET and Employee recognition budgets have merged, but not increased.

Discussion took place over the Staff Advisory Board realignment and Employee Recognition.  Cara will ensure that the SAB is meeting with Galen and/or Dr. Booth, discussing Faculty Senate (Stacey Frank) information/focus. 

Measurement: Scott reported the first round of surveys and analysis are complete.  Suggested changes have been made to survey questions and they are moving forward with the Transformative Employee Experience.  An announcement has been sent and employee interviews will take place between March 5-April 13 with data being collected.  Scott also stated that data will be actively collected using work study students around campus, noting specific information in different areas. Cara suggested that they also note physical issues they see.  This data will be collected and reported. 

Commitment of Excellence/LEAN/Service Obstacle System- No report

Academic – Member At-Large, D&I, TEE:  Lynn shared that the D&I climate survey showed themes and gaps and she will inform the group once data has been analyzed. She reiterated that the TEE is following the TSE process with interviews of all full and part time employees. The data will be brought back and shared.   

 

Management Accountability: Cara asked for feedback regarding changing monthly meeting to quarterly.  After discussion, it was decided to keep the monthly meeting for now and possibly change to business skype/Microsoft team.  Cara will look into making a SET group in business skype.  Discussion took place over having representation from CCE on the SET or possibly other campuses.  Technology would make meetings easier for those off campus. 

 

Review Next Steps for each SET:

Confirm Next meeting – Friday, April 13, 2018 at 10:00am in AD Fiscal Affairs conference room
