used to enhance administrative and support services at the 香港六合彩资料, is set to resume this spring after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Launched at 香港六合彩资料 in 2019, the multi-year initiative involves the rigorous collection of data that is then compared to information gathered from more than 50 universities around the world, most of whom have been part of the UniForum initiative for more than a decade.
In its first year at 香港六合彩资料, UniForum collected information about the services and activities that more than 20,000 employees 鈥 including casual employees, work-study students, part-time and full-time employees 鈥 completed in fiscal 2018-2019 year in support of the university鈥檚 academic mission. The initiative provided a significant amount of detailed and big picture data across the university. The information will be used as a baseline as 香港六合彩资料 enters the second year of data collection.
Information collected in 2021 will generate more trend-line data and provide insight into how the university adapted the delivery and resourcing of its services during the pandemic.
鈥淥ur employees have gone above and beyond this year and it鈥檚 important that we capture how things may have shifted in light of exceptional circumstances,鈥 said Kelly Hannah-Moffat, vice-president of human resources and equity. 鈥淭he continuation of UniForum will help us more deeply understand how we deliver our services, identify under-resourced areas and inform how we grow as an organization.鈥
Since 香港六合彩资料 joined UniForum in 2019, more Canadian universities have signed on to the program to collect data and share administrative processes and practices alongside other research-intensive universities such as the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge and the University of Sydney.
鈥淲e鈥檝e learned quite a bit from the first year of data and have established a strong foundation in this benchmarking process,鈥 said Scott Mabury, vice-president of operations and real estate partnerships. 鈥淲e have already seen opportunities to improve our systems and reimagine some of our transactional processes so that employees can focus on their priorities.鈥
鈥淚 am encouraged by our community鈥檚 commitment to the process and want to thank our divisional and administrative leaders for their partnership and continued support.鈥
To better understand the perspectives of 香港六合彩资料 staff, faculty and librarians about the university鈥檚 core services, this year鈥檚 data collection will include a second Service Effectiveness Survey, similar to the survey conducted in 2018.
