The University of Wisconsin-Madison Human Resources redesign project will be released to the campus community Friday after over a year of development, with a goal of improving university employee recruitment and retainment in response to the recent decline in state support. According to an advanced copy of the plan sent to The Daily Cardinal by the Wisconsin University Union, the redesign aims to maintain the university?s reputation as a world-class institution by improving employee benefits to attract talented faculty and staff.
According to Robert Lavigna, director of human resources and project leader, the flexibilities granted to the university in the new plan would allow for ?a community and workforce of the 21st century that is engaged, is diverse, has the right talent and is also adaptable.?
