Gray Matters
July 2004
Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to the July 2004 issue of Gray Matters, a monthly electronic newsletter regarding HR issues and updates for managers, department chairs, deans, directors and vice presidents. In this issue we address the following topics:
- Report on FY04 Hiring Suspension and Requirements for FY05
- The Importance of Accurate Data on Employees with Multiple Payroll Costing Accounts
- Why Final Candidates Must Complete Employment Application Forms
- Beyond the Going Away Party: Effectively Handling Employee Terminations
- Introducing On-line Entry for Adjunct Rehires
Thought for the Month
...those who turn good into great are motivated by a deep creative urge and an inner compulsion for sheer unadulterated excellence for its own sake. Those who build and perpetuate mediocrity, in contrast, are motivated more by the fear of being left behind.
-- Jim Collins, Good to Great, p. 160
For your convenience and reference, all issues of Gray Matters are archived by topic and newsletter date on the HR web site on the left sidebar. As always, your feedback on Gray Matters is welcome, as well as suggestions for topics and issues you would like addressed in future newsletters.
Sincerely...Kathleen
