Culture & Employee Belonging

We want Campus Services to be a desired place to work in the Upper Valley, a place where people feel welcomed, where they can be their authentic selves, be heard, and feel accepted. 

We want this culture to be felt by those who receive our services. The way we treat one another should be the same way we treat our customers.

Culture and Employee Belonging (CEB) encompasses our programs and policies which promote the representation and participation of different groups of people. The goal of CEB is to champion a safe, inclusive environment where everyone is accepted, respected, and valued. We seek to celebrate diversity, promote equity, and ensure every voice is heard. We empower our community through collaboration, providing resources that bridge gaps and uphold our 7 Principles. Through ongoing training and dialogue, we embed these values into our work, fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity.

As a result of our various initiatives, we have seen great impact across various areas of Campus Services. Some examples of this include:

• Collaboration of faculty, staff, and leadership toward improved culture and climate.
• Enhanced camaraderie amongst various departments in Campus Services.
• Increased transparency from leadership.
• Individual sense of ownership over the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.
• Professional development and networking opportunities.
• Improved feelings of trust and deeper relationships between colleagues.
• Advocacy for faculty and staff.
• Interdepartmental engagement in initiatives.

Since our CEB Initiative kicked off in the fall of 2021, we've listened to 500+ employees, developed principles that serve as the foundation for our desired culture, conducted training sessions, and more.  Read about it here. 

We are actively pursuing a number of activities in support of our CEB initiative.  Take a look to see what's happening. 

Representing the diversity of our division, the Culture & Employee Belonging Council is comprised of 21 employees across a variety of departments who work collaboratively to facilitate actionable solutions that will improve the Campus Services culture and workplace.
