Human Resources Update

Do you know a Cornell employee ROCKSTAR?

Make sure they get the recognition they deserve—nominate them for one for one of the President’s Awards for Employee Excellence! Beginning May 15, nominations will be accepted for four individual and one team award categories to recognize the achievements of staff and faculty at Cornell. Any employee can nominate another or a team, or, with specific documentation, can self-nominate.

This year’s categories:

  • The Game Changer Award: Recognizes an employee who developed, implemented or tried a new approach, system or idea.
  • The Mission-Possible Award: Recognizes a staff member whose work demonstrates excellence in supporting the university’s core mission areas of learning, discovery and engagement.
  • The One Cornell Award: For a team, department or group of employees that implements a project or solves a problem that positively impacts Cornell and the greater community. There is no size limit for group nominations. Please be aware that due to time considerations we may not be able to name each individual in the group at the awards ceremony.
  • The Culture of Belonging Award: Recognizes an employee who goes beyond expectations to create and support an open, inclusive, welcoming and equitable workplace environment. This person speaks up as an ally when witnessing unfair treatment and puts diversity and inclusion principles into practice in their everyday work.
  • The Thoughtful Leader Award: Recognizes an employee who brings out the best in others and mentors or coaches colleagues with exceptional skill.

Additionally, a special Trustee Award – announced by Mary Opperman, vice president and chief human resources officer, at this year’s Jennie T. Farley Office Professionals Celebration April 24 – will be given to an outstanding nominee from across the categories. The awardee will be chosen by Mary Opperman and Robert S. Harrison ’76, chairman of the Cornell University Board of Trustees.

For more information, see the President’s Awards for Employee Excellence website or – beginning May 15 – log in to the nomination form directly.

Required NY State and NYC Harassment Prevention Training

Cornell is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for all students, faculty and staff. We make this commitment because it is an essential part of creating a successful and equitable living, learning and working environment. Each member of our community benefits when our classrooms and workplaces are respectful and when the atmosphere is collegial and welcoming.

New York State and New York City require employers to provide annual training to their employees on how to address sexual harassment in the workplace. Cornell’s training is available on our internal learning management system, CULearn, and is entitled "Maintaining a Harassment Free Environment." We are asking all of our employees to participate in this important training by October 9, 2019.

Cornell has many resources for employees on this topic. These resources include our program for all new employees, "Respect@Cornell: Addressing Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment" (available to all employees on CULearn). The Title IX website and the SHARE website also provide additional information and resources for our employees.

Thank you for your engagement and attention on this very important issue. If you have any questions, contact any of the resources listed below. Please don’t leave your questions on this essential topic unanswered.
