Lack of understanding of State civil service regulations and University policies regarding use of classified staff. State civil service policies and statutes must be consulted. Broader training of staff, necessitating fewer persons doing one specialized task. Adaptability of staff to work in more than one setting. Increased interdepartmental flexibility and availability of staff.
Attitude shift from a personal or departmental to a broader, university-wide perspective.
Enhanced sense of connection to and responsibility for the larger missions of the University. Implementation of a training program for faculty and other unclassified staff in supervisory positions to familiarize them with state civil service regulations and University policies regarding use of classified staff. Recommended changes will make for a more flexible and consistently utilized classified work force available to meet ongoing institutional needs in a more service-oriented manner.
