Teammates,
If you didn’t have the opportunity attend or view my June 13 Town Hall, I want to take a moment to reaffirm my commitment to UNTHSC, our students and each of you. Here is a brief summary.
Also, I want to thank you for your completing three recent surveys, and I invite you to go online and view the results:
- Survey of Employee Engagement 2016-Provides information to leadership about our workforce and organizational issues–and highlights our strengths and opportunities for improvement. Results are used by leadership to drive improvement across the organization.
- Values initiatives Survey-Helps determine our progress to date and opportunities for improvement as we continue on Our Values journey.
- Communications Survey-Identifies strengths and weaknesses in our institutional communications. Information is used to maximize communication effectiveness.
- Influencers Communications Survey-Provides information to strengthen institution-wide communication by identifying key UNTHSC influencers.
On these surveys, you said there are many positive aspects of working at UNTHSC: our people, our resources and work place. And you said we still need to work on trust, communication and being able to challenge the status quo.
I am confident we have the commitment and energy to become an extraordinary team, committed to excellence, unafraid to challenge the conventional wisdom.
It takes all of us to change a culture, and I ask for your partnership:
- Get involved in our Values teams
- Live our values
- Welcome opinions different from your own-we’re strongest when we consider all perspectives before making decisions.
Also, I want to thank each of you for helping us accomplish great things this past year. Take another look at what we’ve done. High 5’s to all of you!
I look forward to seeing you at my next Town Hall in September.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael R. Williams, President
