Workforce Diversity and Strategic Talent Management

Minnesota State will also encourage workforce and industry partners to adopt and implement worker-centered policies that support lifelong learning. These policies may include:

• Stable week-to-week working schedules that allow options for flexibility to attend courses and participate in collaborative projects;
• Allowances for childcare during both work and school hours;
• Assisting with transportation needs;
• Creating space in workplace environments for workers to study or attend remote courses; and
• Providing tuition assistance and health insurance coveragefor part-time workers who are enrolled in college courses.

Minnesota State currently provides the following resources to support workforce diversity and strategic talent management:

• Campus Climate Assessment/Employee Engagement
• Prioritize strategic diversity, equity, and inclusion processes for hiring and retention
• Development of culturally competent focused education and training for employees
• Professional development for students, faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees
