The latest: Chicago-based Carrington & Carrington has been enlisted by Amherst College in Massachusetts to find a new chief human resources officer. “Human resources at Amherst is at the end of a period of dramatic transformation in which it pivoted from a primarily transactional function into a strategic partner for the college,” said the search firm. This includes a complete restructure of the HR office, adding new strategic-focused positions and moving transaction-focused positions into a newly created shared services function. The new CHRO will build on the transformation, firmly establishing HR as a strategic campus partner.
“The CHRO must embody Amherst’s commitment to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, and carry forward college-wide initiatives and communicate in a variety of institutional settings their value and importance,” said the search firm. “In particular, the CHRO will lead the recruitment, mentoring, and retention of a staff that mirrors its student body.” Employee engagement and enhancing staff members’ sense of belonging must also be key priorities, with strategies, policies and procedures clearly linked to the college’s workforce.'
