National HERC Newsletter Fall 2010

Letter from National HERC Advisory Board Chair and Vice-Chair

Dear HERC Community,

We write this letter shortly after the National HERC Advisory Board convened in New Orleans, LA

for its bi-annual meeting. We have many exciting updates to share with you that will enhance

the benefits your institution receives from membership in HERC.

The top three strategic priorities identified by the Advisory Board are:

Regional HERCs

Continuing to provide consultation, coordination, and a forum for collaboration for theexisting 11 regional HERCs

Reaching out to campuses in potential new HERC regions in the U.S. and abroad andproviding start-up consultation, orientation, and materials to ensure successful HERC

formation

Dual-career

Developing a program expansion plan of dual-career initiatives that would bring more dual-career resources toHERC member institutions

Pursuing funding opportunities to support these new initiativesDiversity recruitment

Expanding partnerships with organizations committed to diversity and to serving diverse constituents offaculty, staff, and administrative jobseekers

Increasing advertising in diversity publications Broadening attendance at national higher education diversity conferences

In addition to these key strategic areas the National HERC will continue to establish and maintain partnerships that

result in member discounts and increased visibility, advertise nationally the HERCs in print and online media, and

improve the National and regional HERC websites. The Advisory Board also made effective governance practices a

central priority and developed an action plan that will be implemented over the coming year.

We are fortunate to have such an engaged and innovative National HERC Advisory Board and a dedicated and visionary

National HERC Director and staff. As HERC celebrates its 10 year anniversary, we envision a future over the next 10years that is full of opportunities to assist HERC members in recruiting and retaining the most outstanding and diverse

faculty and staff and assisting dual-career couples. We look forward to collaborating with youHERC members,

partners, and friendsas we realize this vision together.

Sincerely,

National HERC Mission and Programs

The mission of the National HERC is to facilitate national strategic initiatives that help the regional HERCs accomplish

their goals and to promote HERC-wide visibility. The mission of the regional HERCs is to advance the efforts of member

institutions to recruit and retain outstanding and diverse faculty and staff and to assist dual career couples.

strategic program areas as determined by the National HERC

Advisory Board in consultation with the National HERC Director.

Key

Top priority

Additional priority

Regional HERC Development

Engaging in new regional HERC development and helping existing HERC regions be successful was named the #1

strategic priority by the National HERC Advisory Board at its September 2010 meeting.

North Central Texas HERC

On July 21, 2010 campuses in the North/Central Texas region were convened by the University of

Texas at Arlington for an introductory meeting about HERC. The National HERC Director presented

information to the eleven campuses in attendance that included: The University of Texas at

ounty Community

College District, University of Texas at Dallas, Collin College, University of North Texas, Dallas BaptistUniversity, Texas A&M University- Commerce, Tarrant County College and UT Southwestern Medical

Center.

however interest remains very strong. Serious

consideration to forming a HERC is currently

underway in Wisconsin, Vancouver and Nebraska.

Dual-Career News

AAUP Names HERC in Groundbreaking Partner Accommodation Report

a report about dual-career hiring in September 2010 that recommends HERC and reads:

Types of partner accommodation

Many institutions already offer varying types of assistance to dual-career couples including:

Membership in a HERC (Higher Education Recruitment Consortium) or other network: HERCs are formal organizations

of area colleges already established in some regions and states, such as southern California, New England, Missouri,

and New Jersey.10 HERCs provide a variety of services for listing and sharing open positions that can be invaluable in

assisting academic partners. HERC membership costs vary by the size of the institution, making this option, where

available, particularly useful for smaller institutions without the resources to establish a partner-accommodation

program. Institutions may also establish less formal networks for information sharing about openings at nearby

colleges and universities or in local businesses and non-profit organizations. Such arrangements represent the least

controversial option for offering accommodation to academic partners, and may be particularly useful for those

New Dual-Career Member Benefits under Consideration

Finding more ways to help member institutions assist dual-career couples is a core part of the

National and regional HERC missions. The National HERC Advisory Board named expanding dual-

career initiatives as one of three top strategic priorities for the coming year. To this end, someexciting ideas are being considered that will be presented to potential funders, including the

Partnerships for Adaptation, Implementation, and

Dissemination (PAID) grant program. The ideas include:

Authoring and publishing a HERC dual-career booklet for dual-career academic jobseekers that would beavailable to thousands of dual-career couples seekins member institutions. The booklet

would provide practical tips that couples could employ during their academic job search.

4/21


Setting up a dual-career 800 number/online chat helpline. This helpline would be made available to the dual-career couples that are being recruited at HERCs member institutions. It would be a confidential service that

dual-career spouses and partners could contact to receive personal one-on-one assistance with their dual-

career concerns. The helpline would provide general job search tips, suggestions about how to maximize HERC

to greatest effect, referrals to resources, and general support during what is often a very stressful process.

Setting up a dual-career consultants collaborative (DCCC). There are dual-career professionals at colleges anduniversities around the country with years of experience in dual-career practices and policies. Campuses which

are interested in making changes/enhancements to how they address dual-career concerns could access the

DCCC to get advice on best practices and program and policy design.

Using social media such as LinkedIn to connect dual-career couples to one another for support and to facultyand staff recruitment professionals for assistance and mutual learning.

Producing online training webinars and on-demand content for dual-career couples with job search tipsspecifically tailored to them.

Producing online training webinars and on-demand content for college and university professionals interestedin learning more about dual-career practices, programs, and policies.

Do you have a dual-career program idea that you would like the National HERC to consider? Contact the National

HERC Director [email protected].

Diversity News

The National HERC Advisory Board also named assisting the HERC regions and members with

diversity recruitment as one of three top priorities in 2010-11. Diversity is not a stand-alone

initiative rather you will see a focus on diversity interwoven thr

considering investing resources in website enhancements, advertising and marketing, conference attendance,

partnerships, webinars and metrics.

HERC-wide the registered user demographics have consistently outpaced national averages for both race and gender.

This is one indicator that HERC member job opportunities are reaching a diverse jobseeker population.

HERC Website News

Diversity on the HERC WebsitesThe regional HERCs worked together to develop a set of HERC-wide testimonials that reflect the tremendous diversity

of our organization including faculty, staff, administrator and jobseeker perspectives. These testimonials will soon be

live on all regional HERC websites. In addition, many regional HERCs highlight their diversity initiatives, events, and

partnerships on their homepages.

HERC Resume/CV DatabaseIn less than one year the resume/CV database has grown to include nearly 6,000 candidates, the majority of which hold

advanced degrees. The database is customized for higher education and includes unique fields such as teaching

experience, presentations, publications, relocation preferences, diversity and more. It is available at no charge to HERC

members and jobseekers. HERC members can search candidates by type of position desired (faculty or staff), level of

education, and geographic location. You can also conduct keyword searches to identify highly specific candidate

attributes. To access the database, use your existing login information or contact your regional director. To view a

recorded webinar on how to access and use the database, visit:http://www.vimeo.com/herc

National Advertising Results in Increased Website Traffic up to 269% in one year!

The National HERC continues to advertise on behalf of all regions to enhance HERC brand recognition and encourage

more jobseekers to utilize the regional and National HERC websites. Through the Partnership Program, the National

HERC has secured more than $20,000 of in-kind advertising, significantly increasing its annual advertising budget.

The National HERC website is a top 10 referrer for all 11 regional HERC websites, and all of the regional HERCs have

experienced a significant increase in website traffic. According to Google Analytics data for the past year, regional

HERC website traffic increased anywhere from 56% to as much as 202%. National HERC traffic increased 269%.

The National HERC Advisory Board approved a list of discipline-specific journals and websites with whom we hope to

develop partnership and advertising opportunities in the future.

National HERC Coordinates Panel Presentation on Social Media, Employment Branding, & Recruitment

The National HERC organized a concurrent session at the CUPA-HR conference with the Upper Midwest HERC, Linkedin

and Renaissance Strategic Solutions

Participants learned best practices for using social media as part of an overall recruitment

strategy.

A few tips from the session:

From Linkedin:

Use your profile to hire not just to get hired Let the real you shine in your profile Invest the most time in your headline & summary careers on

your profile Get recommended by people you hired Join relevant Linkedin groups, for example if minority

recruitment is a goal for your campus, join minority scholar and

jobseeker groups and post jobs to those groups for free!

Develop a realistic maintenance plan underestimate the time involved in maintaining a social media

presence.

From the Upper Midwest HERC:

Tap into Gen X staff for expertise among staff/students Get the support of all stakeholders. This could require education

and/or expert consultation to create a climate of interest.

Determine who will learn, manage, and assist others with the

underpinning technology

Consider cost effectiveness of participation and nonparticipation

Assess whether social networking can replace other efforts orresponsibilities

Offer followers something of unique value Set realistic expectations

Bright Horizons - Groundbreaking Results from New Study: Healthy Employees, Healthy Organizations - Bright

Horizons, in cooperation with Dr. Jamie Ladge of Northeastern University, conducted a groundbreaking study

examining the benefits of employer-sponsored family care supports. The study of 4,000 working adults from a varietyof industries including higher education included one group with children under age 13 who had access to employer-

sponsored family care supports including on-site child care, back-up care, and adult/elder care and another group

which did not have access to these supports.

The study showed that employees with access to employer-sponsored family care supports were healthier and more

engagedin their work. Key findings included: 1. Employees withoutaccess to family care supports were nearly one-

third more likely to report being down, depressed, or hopeless in the last month and they were three times more likely

to be treated for high blood pressure and diabetes; and 2. Employees with family care supports were 20 percent less

likely to have missed a day of work in the past six months. To learn more about this groundbreaking study, go to

TALX - States Putting A Check On Pre-Employment Credit Inquiries - By Gordon Middleton, Compliance Specialist

as an

applicant evaluation tool. Other states with such legislation currently on the books include Oregon, Washington, and

Hawaii with numerous others having legislation pendingincluding California, New York, and the US House of

Representatives.

Generally, most of the pending bills state employers should not use credit checks unless the position requires the

handling of money (think bank or credit union), is a law enforcement position, is for a job in which credit checks are

required by law, or is otherwise substantially job-related and the reasons for use are disclosed.

This legislation is designed to help those out of work due to current economic conditions re-enter the workforce in

positions for which they are qualified without the threat of damaged credit impeding their chances. Employers need to

take note of this trend and implement a best practice methodology to avoid liability.

This month, COACHE will conduct a pilot study of mid- and late-career faculty who, along with administrators, set the

standards, tone, and direction of our institutions. The survey will be offered nationally in fall 2011. With data, we will

join member institutions in determining how to maintain a vibrant senior faculty and to respond to the needs of

associate and full professors. To join in this new research effort in faculty recruitment and retention--in getting and

keeping facultyplease contact COACHE right away.

The PhD Project - a successful diversity program that has increased the number of minority business faculty in U.S.

schools from just 294 in 1994 to over 1,050 today is proud to announce the launch of Project AHEAD Achieving Higher

Education Administration Diversity.

The PhD Project has found fewer than 20 African-American, Hispanic American and Native American business schools

deans at non-HBCU business schools in the U.S. This new initiative encourages tenured minority faculty to explore

positions in administration. Much like The PhD Project, this program will offer resources and support by hosting

webinars and providing mentors to help members on this path.

For more information on The PhD Project and/or Project AHEAD please contact Marie Zara, Development Manager at
