Human Resources update

Please find below updates on several Human Resources initiatives, along with key dates:

Leadership Development Program

The Professional Development Center is accepting applications through March 15 for the 2013-2014 Leadership Development Program. The program continues to be open to 10 faculty and 10 staff members, a structure that creates a diverse learning environment and helps participants gain a new appreciation of the different roles and departments across campus. Please visit the Leadership Development Program web page for further information.

Youth Employment Program

Applications now are being accepted from departments who are interested in hiring a student dependent for this summer’s Youth Employment Program. The program has been enhanced to model the Wake Fellows Program. More information can be found at the Youth Employment Program web page.

Student dependents of faculty or staff who are interested in applying for the program may do so March 15-31 through the Wake Forest career portal. Position descriptions will be posted once the application period begins, and selected students will be notified by April 30. The PDC will offer afternoon and evening resume building classes to help prospective students create their application materials.

Annual Benefits Enrollment

The annual benefits enrollment period will take place April 1-12, offering benefit-eligible faculty and staff the opportunity to review and update their elections. The annual benefits fair will take place on April 2 in Benson 401.

Centralized Temporary Staffing Services

Wake Forest will launch a centralized temporary staffing service later this summer, which will allow the Human Resources team to support your temporary staffing needs in a convenient and cost-effective manner. We will work with campus departments to determine if the temporary staffing needs can be met through in-house “Wake” temporary employees, or through a preferred agency partner. More information is forthcoming.

Please contact the Human Resources team at x4700, or AskHR@wfu.edu, for questions.

Reynolda Campus youth employment program

We are pleased to announce that the Summer Employment Program will be offered again this year.  The program is held on the Reynolda Campus for dependents of full-time Wake Forest faculty and staff.  The goal of the program is to provide support for departments over the summer, as well as to afford worthwhile job opportunities to dependents of Wake Forest Reynolda Campus faculty and staff.

Information for Departments

The University will contribute $1,000 toward the cost of employing a program participant, and your department is responsible for any wages that exceed this amount.  Notifications will not be sent out regarding hours and money spent, so please ensure that the information is tracked by your department.

Departments interested in employing a student will need to provide at least six weeks of work at the rate of at least $7.25 per hour and have the student begin work  prior to June 22, 2012.  No student can begin working until he or she has submitted all paperwork and attended an orientation session.  Please note that students may not be supervised by their parents, guardians or any other relatives.

To participate in the program, complete and submit a Request Form to Human Resources by March 16 at 5 p.m.
