Ensuring that your institution's new faculty are supported and fully engaged will provide a better experience for them and for your students

Recent articles (from Fortune and Harvard Business Review) and even a podcast speak about the post-COVID phenomenon of Quiet Quitting. Gallup stated in early September that “quiet quitters” make up at least half of the US workforce. One of the key reasons for this, according to Gallup, is that employees do not feel cared about or are not provided growth opportunities from their managers.

In education, those first-line managers are generally department chairs. As chairs and the other members of the hiring team have often invested significant time--and often emotion--in the process, it is important to make sure that new faculty (and even mid-career faculty) are satisfied with their position and ensure they have the opportunities necessary for success.
