Are you interested in working with a team that explores opportunities to enhance our work experience?  

Do you like generating ideas for supporting a flexible workplace or the possibility of sharing feedback on special initiatives directly with university leadership? 

How about working on projects that deliver a real benefit to our community or simply have the opportunity to network with staff from all across campus and Michigan Medicine? 

If so, you are invited to apply to Voices of the Staff.      

What is Voices of the Staff? 

Voices of the Staff is the long-standing U-M employee engagement program for staff from Michigan Medicine and every academic campus. It brings together 130 people to help shape the future of our workplace. 

Participants choose one of six different teams, each with its own specific focus. If selected, you would be in the program for two years, meeting monthly with your team.

Your Input Provided Direction 

In November, Voices of the Staff shared a survey with every member of the staff community. From 2,000 responses, eleven topics were identified for deep and meaningful discussion at a virtual Town Hall attended by 150 people. Conversations at this event shaped the focus for six Voices Network Teams.
