“I’m very happy with the progress and teamwork each department within the division has shown implementing our initial action items,” Layzell said. “It’s important that the campus community is routinely kept up-to-date on our commitment to improving customer service and business processes, and the progress we are making in that regard.”

The full implementation of the strategic plan is scheduled to span the next five years, while initially focusing on the most critical priority of improvements in onboarding/new employee processes, division communication, purchasing and procurement operations and processes, management and staff training and development, and technology related processes.
