Heard
We encourage communication with leadership in many ways, from regular meetings between staff and supervisors, annual 1:1 check-ins with the CIO, or through anonymous methods. OIT prioritizes regular feedback and all employees have an annual performance evaluation that includes an opportunity for two-way discussion; in addition, managers are checking in and providing/asking for input more than just once a year!
Empowered to make a difference
OIT employees are dedicated to the mission of the department—empowering students, faculty, and staff through technology. At PSU, we are changing peoples’ lives through education. We provide opportunities to connect to campus, including volunteering at events like graduation and collaborating with the PSU community. We want to provide an environment where everyone feels connected to the mission of the university as well as to their colleagues, where they are empowered to make a difference.
