Mona Campus – Jamaica
Caring, Accountable, Motivated Professional Team (CAMP) Initiating a Caring, Accountable, Motivated Professional Team (CAMP) is a less palpable but essential ingredient of this year’s resource maximisation approach. Staff need to feel valued to generate the desired level of productivity. By motivating staff through training, retreats, recognition and other incentives, we began improvements to create greater accessibility and agility of our services, thus advancing the financial health of the Campus.
The Mona Campus continued to be strapped financially but its most valuable asset is that of its human resources: its faculty, its students and the network of administrative and technical staff who carry out the business of the Campus daily. In support of The UWI 2017–2022 Strategic Plan to develop a “creative, caring, accountable, motivated and professional staff”, the Mona Campus included Radical Collaboration as one of its priority strategies for maximising resources for a sustainable future. Through this we exposed hundreds
of staff to the skills necessary to build a collaborative environment at the Campus. Radical Collaboration is an approach to building and maintaining climates of trust and collaboration within organisations. Widely used in a range of applications in both public and private sectors worldwide, including universities, the Radical Collaboration approach is proven to increase productivity, efficiency and staff engagement. During the 2018/2019 academic year a total of 132 persons were trained in Radical Collaboration including the Senior Management team and senior members of faculties and administrative units.
