Voices Network Teams

A New Year, A New Network of Engaged Staff!

Voices of the Staff kicked off a new year at its Annual Meeting on June 8, 2023. The program is composed of a network of seven topic-specific teams that meet monthly. Each team has about 20 staff members, selected from applicants to reflect a microcosm of the staff community, as well as appointed facilitators and advisors. The entire effort is supported by a Program Management Team comprised of UHR staff and others from across the organization.

More about the Voices Network

Every few years Voices of the Staff seeks broad input from staff on challenges in the workplace. In the fall of 2021, Voices conducted a survey that resulted in 2,000 replies. In January 2022, Voices followed up with a town hall attended by more than 200 staff members as well as executive leadership from campus and Michigan Medicine. By sharing their collective voice, these staff members helped to shape and define the areas of focus for the Voices Network Teams. The Voices program year runs from June to May. Each June an annual meeting is held to mark the start of a new program year. The event is held to thank those who have completed their 2 or 3 years of participation and service as well as welcome new members just starting their Voices experience. For more about the team member experience, see the panels.
