Strategic Initiative Brief: Help new colleagues, recruit more talent

Unify-Communicate-Advocate

The UC ANR Strategic Initiatives offer a home for strategic thought - drawing on members of the wider UC ANR community and beyond to 1) help people connect and 2) to help them identify and address issues of current and emerging importance. 

Help our new colleagues get off to a strong start and recruit more talented people to join UC ANR. From top clockwise: Recent hires Amira Resnick Philip Waisen Hung Doan

Help our new people get up and running

We have a lot of information now available on our UC ANR Learning and Development site to help people get Programmatically Oriented. Programmatic orientation will be May 10.

Please share the link https://ucanr.edu/sites/Professional_Development/Office_-_Team_Management/Working_at_UC_ANR/?editon=1#OnlineOrientation and send us suggestions.

Let us (mozbell@ucanr.edu) know if you would like to be part of a group to brainstorm how people can get connected and to be successful and to get a strong start for their programs.  

Recruit new colleagues 

Know someone who would be a good fit for an ANR position? Let's all reach out to professionals we would be proud to work with and ask them to join us in achieving ANR's mission of improving the lives of all Californians. Spread the word: UC ANR is hiring. See UC ANR jobs.

Feedback and suggestions welcome.
