Theme 2: Innovative Culture
Innovation and success at the Nest rely on the members of the Endicott community and their commitment to personal and professional growth. A more inclusive and engaged community benefits all of us, through a keen focus on attracting new talent, developing and retaining current employees, and supporting them with leading technology to fulfill their potential.
Innovative Culture includes the following priority initiatives:
Aligned & Agile Organization
An active and lively approach to change leads to collective greatness. Designated spaces for faculty and staff collaboration and idea sharing, and flexible schedules for different departments on campus will better meet the needs of students and employees.
Data Informed & Technology Energized
With efficiency as the top goal, determine and install a new, modern system that will replace tools currently used across campus. Enhance Endicott’s culture with data-backed decision making through the creation of a custom metrics dashboard.
Talent Acquisition, Retention & Development
Higher education is a competitive landscape so retaining and attracting top talent is critical for an innovative culture to thrive. Leadership and skill development, professional growth, and a compensation study will lead to an updated structure to better support employees and inform hiring decisions.
An Inclusive & Engaged Community
A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through a concerted effort to make the Nest more reflective of the world in which we live. Recruiting and retaining a more diverse student body will mean better outreach and financial aid resources, while growing diversity of staff will require differentiators like relocation expenses and employee resource groups.
