The UC ANR Staff Assembly Council encourages UC ANR staff to complete the Staff Engagement Survey if they received it from Willis Towers Watson. The survey didn't go to every single staff member. In order to reduce cost, surveys were randomly sent to 64 percent of non-represented staff. It's particularly important to complete the survey if it came to you.
The Office of the President keeps track of the number of surveys that are filled out, so the UC ANR Staff Assembly is in a friendly competition with Staff Assemblies throughout UC to see who has the highest rate of return. In 2015, the last time the survey was conducted, UC ANR tied for first place with UC San Francisco with a return rate of 56 percent. We want to be on top...
I am pleased to announce the University will implement a merit-based salary increase program for policy-covered (nonrepresented) staff employees for the 2017-18 fiscal year. For ANR staff employees, the salary increase program will be effective July 1, 2017, for monthly paid employees and June 18, 2017, for biweekly paid employees.

Academic appointees can expect to receive information about this year's academic salary...

The Office of the Vice President and Chief Information Officer invites comments on drafts of a presidential policy, Electronic Information Security (IS-3), and a corresponding glossary for all information security and information technology policies. The policy provides a security framework that protects UC's Institutional Information and IT Resources from accidental or intentional unauthorized access, loss or damage, while preserving UC's collaborative academic culture.
Dear Colleagues:
UC is running the biennial Staff Engagement Survey to learn more about nonrepresented (policy-covered) staff impressions about working at the university.
During the week of May 15, a representative sample of ANR staff members will receive an email from Willis Towers Watson, a firm conducting the survey on UC's behalf, with an invitation to take the survey.
The survey was developed by the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies (CUCSA) in collaboration with Systemwide Human Resources' Employee Relations department and Willis Towers Watson.
This is not spam so please do not delete the email invitation.
The Staff Engagement Survey aims to help UC better understand the...
