At UAMS, employees are essential to our mission of improving the health and well-being of Arkansans by providing high-quality innovative patient care, education, and research. Retaining our talented, dedicated staff and attracting new team members with diverse skillsets are critical to embrace our mission.
Department Improvement Plan (DIP) is designed as a non-punitive three-phase program over a 6-month period that will provide leaders with the resources needed to increase employee engagement. Your participation in this program will help us meet our Vision 2029 engagement goals: be at or above the 46th percentile of engagement for academic health institutions by 2025, decrease turnover, and increase employee satisfaction.
The PCP team makes the following commitments during the 6 month journey:
- Partner and collaborate to develop a strategic road map with the emphasis on improving employee well-being, recognition, and culture as outlined by Organizational Leadership.
- Facilitate a team presentation and review your Department Needs Assessment. Collaborate with department leaders to develop an action plan for enhancing leadership competencies, intradepartmental communication, and change management.
- Continued support with collaborative follow-up, additional surveys, and guidance on obtaining action plan deliverables.
