Our research, developed through the 2023 HR Effectiveness Survey, 21 feedback sessions with staff and faculty teams across campus, and various internal working groups and retreats drives the commitments and goals we've set for IC Human Resources' service, support, and mission by the year 2026.
HR Service 2026
We started with a year-long question: "What is an 'employer of choice' in the year 2026?" The answer will draw the map for the future of recruiting, compensation, employment experience, and workplace design at IC.
HR Service 2026 Commitments
Insomuch as this project anticipates answers to the very question of what an employer of choice will represent in the year 2026, the point of these questions is their very unanswerable quality – working daily as HR professionals, we are fine-tuning our answers and discovering new questions with the intention of sharing our learning, growth and development with the campus community. But ultimately, this is a shared goal—if not a daily practice—of all constituents of IC: to build a culture of support, collaboration, inclusion and excitement that sees us choosing day after day to return to IC.
