- Moves
- Upcoming brown bag meetings
Dear Colleagues:
In this week's update, we're happy to announce hires in the new OP Budget Office, which begins work today. We also have updates about staff changes in our local HR office, and new employee workshops and moves during restructuring. We don't plan to send an update next week following the Independence Day holiday. You can expect to see my next weekly message on July 15.
Hires in OP Budget Office
This week marks the official opening of the new OP Budget Office under the leadership of Director Michael Rancer, who joins us from the Berkeley campus. Mike last week named his leadership team: Coordinators David Jensen (from Financial Management) and Kristen Neal (from the Office of Research and Graduate Studies), and Principal Analyst Susan Ohye (from Financial Management). The OP Budget Office is also continuing to hire for several additional Senior Analyst and Administrative Specialist positions, so for those of you have applied but not yet heard back - please be patient.
The OP Budget Office will be located on the 9th Floor, adjacent to the new Business Resource Center that will be staffing up over the summer.
Staff changes in OP Human Resources
The OP Human Resources office is making a number of staffing changes to continue to deliver key services effectively during this transitional period. Rene Jackson will serve as the interim Director of Human Resources at OP following Rosemary Monroe s retirement. In Rene's place, Linda Glasscock from Labor Relations will act as the interim manager of Employee/Labor Relations and Vocational Rehabilitation. Michael Waldman is taking a benefits position at UCSF Medical Center effective June 30, and Asha Shareem will be filling his position as Manager of Benefits on an interim basis.
More job development workshops scheduled
Last week UCOP HR announced the schedule for additional workshops on resume writing, interviewing and job searches. You can find the new schedule and other useful career development information at the following website.
Moves
As new consolidated business units start work and our departments reorganize, we are preparing for a series of office moves. Some moves may be temporary as we consolidate space and relocate people to work in new and redesigned units, and the restructuring implementation team is working closely with Facilities Management on these relocations. We know that moving can be disruptive, and we ask for your cooperation and patience.
Upcoming brown bag meetings
The next noontime brown bag meetings are scheduled for July 23 (Franklin) and July 25 (Kaiser). Last week s sessions included an update on the HR Benefits reorganization and the high-level design of a new Position Development and Legislative Analysis group. You can view the presentation slides on the OP restructuring website.
I hope you all enjoy the holiday.
