Employee Core Competencies
As part of the Strategic Plan, a University-wide committee identified seven employee Core Competencies that support the University’s mission and its values; measure the successful and effective performance of all employees of the University of New Haven; and guide the evaluation and performance management process and goal-setting activities.
Our employee Core Competencies are integral to building a great workplace that attracts, cultivates, and retains talent, enabling us to achieve the critical “people first” goals and objectives outlines in our Strategic Plan.
