Serving Creighton University

Creighton University is committed to promoting positive working relationships and effective communication among employees. In an effort to achieve these goals, the Employee Relations Administrator serves as a resource to employees by providing guidance and training to supervisors and employees on ways to enhance the working environment. At times, non-work related issues may also surface and an employee may need assistance in identifying available resources.

Here to Assist

An employee may contact the Employee Relations Administrator at any time. It is important that an employee use all resources available to discuss an issue. These resources may include his or her supervisor, his or her supervisor's supervisor or the Employee Relations Administrator.

An employee may schedule an appointment to meet on a strictly confidential basis. The employee and the Employee Relations Administrator jointly discuss the potential steps in addressing the issue. The employee participates in identifying options and the people who need to be involved in resolution.

Solving workplace issues requires a personal investment of time, patience, a willingness to take a risk and, on occasion, feeling uncomfortable. The benefits of addressing these situations are:

  1. Increased Self-Respect.
  2. Personal Growth and Development.
  3. Stronger Relationships.

Training is a vital part of our ability to address workplace issues. The Employee Relations Administrator will assist an employee or a department with suggestions for appropriate training sources. It is the University's goal, in partnership with every employee, to develop and implement methods of training that will strengthen and enhance working relationships.
