This month’s newsletter includes an invitation to apply for the People Practices Advisory Group, information on an upcoming Staff Compensation Open Forum, an update on the Leadership Cohort opportunity, and the Excel at CC fall schedule.

One of our top three priorities this year is to enhance our HR Policies, Procedures and Processes (People Practices) so they better serve the community. As part of this process, we’d like to form a group of employees to help guide some of the choices we’ll be making. If you’d like a voice in shaping the future of the employee experience at CC, visit our website.

We invite employees to join us in a dialogue about staff compensation at CC.  We will discuss how CC will determine our new compensation structure (bands) going forward, as well as other proposed changes.  

The event will be held on August 31 at 2-3:30 PM in Yalich Boardroom.  Hold your spot. 

Colorado College is launching an intensive pilot leadership development program: Leading CC. 

This program is an opportunity for faculty and staff at all levels (including non-management personnel) to work together to discover our individual leadership styles, and to inspire one another to ignite our passion, unleash our potential, and fulfill a shared purpose in support of CC’s mission. Applications to participate will be open until Sept. 4.

Read more about it.

Excel at CC engagement is open to all staff and faculty. The knowledge and expertise of members of our campus community will be shared during 30+ available sessions this fall, with our first one just around the corner on Sept. 11.  

Our complete Fall calendar is now available, and the wide range of topics includes sessions on providing effective feedback, antiracism, history of disability rights, and time management to name just a few. Make a plan to attend by talking to your supervisor and registering today! We look forward to learning side-by-side with you.

Capturing the employee experience at CC is challenging due to the variety of roles and experiences the members of our community have. To help us better illustrate the breadth of what it means to work at CC, the HR department is having a campus-wide photo contest, open to all staff and faculty. To enter, fill in this form and upload a photo that represents highlights from your employee experience at CC. The winning photo, chosen by a team of judges, will be featured in an upcoming People Connections newsletter. The photographer of the winning photo will receive a prize from the HR department – more details to follow after the contest.
