The employee experience for staff in UW Tacoma’s Division of Student Affairs is critically important to the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and the Executive Leadership Team. We strive for an appealing and inclusive workplace. We thrive when we have engaged employees who feel supported in their work and their personal well-being! We aim to have staff feel well prepared by inspiring trainings that results in success both in their positions as well as in achieving their personal goals! We aspire for a transparent and collaborative approach that provides a well planned, supported, and informed environment for the entire cycle of what we refer to as the "Employee Experience!" Along with our students, we believe in MOVING STAFF FORWARD through personal and professional growth opportunities. 

The Employee Experience cycle begins with Attraction and ends (or for some staff, pauses) with Separation. We have given each stage of the cycle a different color which corresponds with the sections below. In each section, you will first read the key goal for each stage, followed by a list of key elements from that stage, and what we hope to hear from our employees. The key elements will link to resources we have provided or will remain unlinked as we continue to build them.
