Outdated workplace environments are a growing challenge for colleges and universities trying to attract and retain employees. In fact, according to a recent survey by The Chronicle, 57 percent of administrators believe their institutions lack the right policies and practices to manage today’s work force.
What ideas should leaders adopt from the business world to stay up to date and compete for talent? What type of preparation do provosts, deans, department chairs, and other academic managers need to be better suited for the modern workplace?
Join a virtual forum, “Managing Higher Ed’s Modern Work Force,” on Thursday, December 8, at 2 p.m. ET, to hear from a group of leaders on what should be done to support the evolving work force.
