About the Council

To help create and promote a strong and healthy workplace culture at Georgia Tech, several units and colleges on campus have implemented a Staff Culture Advisory Council. To date, these councils have been successful in improving staff morale; providing more opportunities for staff to develop within their careers and serve in leadership roles; and empowering staff to share their experiences in an open and trustworthy manner. 

Administration and Finance (A&F) has created its own Staff Culture Advisory Council to serve as an advisory committee to leadership to:​

  • Create a collaborative environment​,
  • Build workplace relationships​,
  • Foster employee wellbeing​, and
  • Promote equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Responsibilities

Each member of the A&F Staff Culture Advisory Council has the following responsibilities:

  • Represent and serve as a liaison between staff members and their respective unit leadership​
  • Attend Council meetings and meet with unit leaders on a monthly basis to provide status updates​
  • Participate in and/or lead ongoing projects
  • Promote respective unit level staff engagement activities​
  • Propose initiatives and/or programs to support the Council’s overall mission​
  • Share information among the respective unit

The A&F Staff Culture Advisory Council is a part of The Staff Council at Georgia Tech. The Staff Council aims to better understand perspectives that are representative of the broad population of staff and to communicate those perspectives to the Institute President.
