UOE Goals
Core and Strategic Priorities:
Pillar 4 Organizational Excellence
To foster excellence, we will build a thriving, inclusive structure and culture within UOE where collaboration, trust, and professional growth are core to how we work together. We will prioritize cross-unit alignment, supportive infrastructure, and intentional investments in people, systems, and practices that enable excellence.
Core Priorities
- Strengthen UOE-wide budget, HR, and operational support systems by standardizing key practices and establishing shared service models for budgeting, HR, data, and communications to ensure fairness, resource-sharing, and cross-unit collaboration.
- Redouble efforts to promote cross-unit understanding of UOE identity and purpose, including shared definitions, frameworks, and pathways to impact.
- Refine the annual planning, reporting, and performance evaluation processes to be more consistent across all units in UOE, facilitating greater collaboration and reducing duplicate efforts.
- Continuously improve internal communication mechanisms and information-sharing platforms.
Strategic Priorities
- Develop a UOE-wide professional development framework aligned with shared competencies that include supporting partnerships, cultural humility, facilitation, co-creation, securing funding, managing projects, and providing exemplary service.
- Establish, resource, and support a culture and climate committee representing all UOE units, focusing on supporting a healthy workplace policy/culture, sponsoring peer recognitions, and building strong social ties.
- Collaborate with UOE administrators and staff to develop, implement, and evaluate an internal Employee Handbook to standardize our “internal rules of the road.”
- Develop and launch a transformative plan to catalyze external funding and resources, empowering UOE programs to thrive and shape a far better future.
By investing in people, systems, and collaboration, this pillar strengthens our capacity to deliver on all other pillars for positive external impact—and makes UOE a great place to work.
