The Future of Work (FoW) Task Force committees are charged with developing short- and long-term recommendations to leadership related to work flexibility, our employee value proposition (why people want to work here and remain here), and employee well-being.

The task force will have Universitywide representation that is diverse and provides focus through a generational lens. The task force committees also will address other needed resources, including technology, training and development needs, and any other identified resources required to ensure UMB continues to be an employer of choice both now and in the future.

A Human Resources work group will be charged with creating a job needs assessment tool, ensuring policies and practices reflect the recommendations of the task force, and identifying the strategic workforce planning needs of UMB. All task force recommendations will:

• Align with UMB’s core values
• Enhance University culture, engagement, and belonging
• Position the University for ongoing innovation and discovery
• Be cost-effective and practical
