The IIF's Staff Advisory Committee (SAC) plays a crucial
role in fostering a welcoming workplace committed to respect, integrity and excellence,
where all employees have the support they need to succeed. Here's a breakdown
of its functions and responsibilities:
- Representation:
Each member of SAC is a representative of a different department. It
includes employees of all levels, specialties and backgrounds.
- Insight
and feedback: SAC members serve as the committee's point of contact
for their respective departments. Their role is to provide valuable
insights, feedback, and concerns regarding the well-being of their
department. This input helps the Admin team and SAC in making informed
recommendations and planning events.
- Employee
Engagement: The SAC team considers how to incorporate IIF’s core
values of a respectful and welcoming workplace into all aspects of IIF's
activities, including staff events and other internal programs, and makes
recommendations to management.
- Annual
Employee Survey: Every year, IIF conducts a survey of all employees.
The SAC team looks over the survey data to find any trends, changes, or
areas that differ from year to year that could raise concerns. Drawing
from this data, the team develops recommendations for enhancing IIF’s
commitment to a respectful and welcoming work environment and equal
employment opportunities for all.
Overall, SAC is an essential tool for advancing IIF’s core
values of respect, integrity and excellence and a welcoming corporate culture.
