Letter from Neil McClure, CUIMC CHRO
Welcome to the second annual report from the human resources team at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. We are excited to share with you our accomplishments over the past year, as well as the ongoing work we are leading to continue to make our campus a place where employees thrive.
The past year has been a challenging one for our university and institutions across the country as we grappled with difficult conversations and geopolitical events that have impacted many. In this uncertain environment, CUIMC HR has been at the frontlines providing resources and programming to support and enrich our community.
This year we hosted the first-ever CUIMC Well-Being Fair, a collaborative effort among many offices that introduced hundreds of employees to available resources on campus and offered the chance for employees to find balance and connection with a variety of well-being activities. Additionally, as employees seek meaningful connection and support from their colleagues, our thriving employee resource groups have only continued to grow with the launch of two new ERGs.
Our focus on building culture also involves empowering our managers with the tools to make data-driven decisions to retain their brightest talent, grow their departments in new directions and foster equity across the medical center.
Every day, our team is focused on a single overarching goal: making CUIMC a better place to work, grow, and thrive. This report demonstrates our commitment to that goal, now and in years to come. We look forward to hearing your feedback and welcome new suggestions and ideas. Tell us your goals, and we'll help you get there.
Sincerley,
Neil M. McClure
Chief Human Resources Officer
Columbia University Irving Medical Center
