RETAINING IT TALENT IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY

The CIO Division HR team engaged with senior leadership teams on Impact Factors and Employee Ratings. After supervisors evaluated employees, the Division HR team conducted 15 calibration sessions to discuss performance expectations for each factor and ensure equitable assessments of the University Career Architecture Work Dimension guidelines across the department.
