Use your supervisor as a resource

Your supervisor is your key resource person concerning College policies and procedures. We encourage you to consult your supervisor for information and clarification. Your performance, job satisfaction and success are some of your supervisor’s most important concerns, and you should not hesitate to ask questions and to seek your supervisor’s advice and guidance. You may also consult the senior officer or vice president for your area.

Human Resources and Provost’s Offices

Staff in the Human Resources and the Provost’s Offices welcome your inquiries and are ready to help you.

Employee advisors

While the people above may usually be best able to provide direct assistance, if you prefer to consult first with a neutral, confidential party outside of the normal administrative channels, you may speak with an employee advisor. Employee advisors are colleagues who have been designated as additional resources to help you clarify your options when you have an employment related concern. You may consult an employee advisor when you are not sure to whom you should address your concern or when you do not feel ready to address your concern with your supervisor or staff in Human Resources or the Provost’s Office. See Employee Advisors for details.

Resolving differences

In any organization with many jobs and many people, it is possible for points of difference to develop. The College expects all staff to act to resolve differences in an orderly and fair manner. You are encouraged to first try to resolve the problem directly with the person(s) concerned. You may also speak with your immediate supervisor concerning the problem. Other resources include the President’s Staff member (senior officer) for your area, Human Resources, the Provost’s Office and employee advisors.
