HR Advisory Committee
A page within Human Resources
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse aspires to deliver an exceptional workplace experience for all faculty and staff. To achieve this vision, it is critical to both employees and the university that employees can evaluate and advise Human Resources in the development and refinement of program and service offerings. Further, employee input is essential to improving and optimizing communication between Human Resources and the employees it serves. The Human Resources Advisory Committee offers a formal platform through which this important dialogue can be sustained.
The Human Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC) shall serve as a platform for engagement and feedback between Human Resources and the university community that it serves, with the goal of enhancing the workplace experience at UWL. Advisory in nature, the committee will be engaged with information on new programs and services, changes being considered to existing offerings, and in other matters related to services and programs for employees, and communication between Human Resources and employees. The HRAC is not an advocacy group. It exists to provide constructive, fact-based evaluations of current and future HR endeavors.
Matters brought to the HRAC for consideration may be related and not limited to:
- Feedback on UW System programs and initiatives
- Feedback on UWL programs and initiatives
- HR service delivery
- Communications
- Talent recruitment
- Talent management
- Professional Development
