A Year in Review
I’m pleased to share the 2023 HR Annual Report, a snapshot of who we are, who we support and the services and initiatives we provide our community.
2023 was a very dynamic year for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) and for our HR team. Externally, we witnessed the continuation of high inflation, the aftermath of what was called the “Great Resignation” and a demographic shift – all impacting staff recruitment and retention. Internally, the McGill hiring freeze changed the ground rules for administrative hires. All these factors presented challenges for supervisors navigating the turbulent waters of work-life balance, flexible work arrangements and a tight employee market while meeting administrative service commitments. Hats off to all supervisors and their teams who continued to adapt to these numerous challenges and changes.
Early in 2023, a structural change within the HR Office set us up to better respond to these challenges, with three members of our team moving into more specialized roles in Talent Management and Data Analysis. Their initiatives have helped our supervisors and leaders retain and invest in top talent and gave us a clearer picture of who we are and how to weather this period of change.
In 2024, we continue to invest in bringing staff and supervisors the services, special programs and data-based insights they need to support the teaching and research mission of the Faculty.
