Dear Post University Associate,
Welcome to the Post University community! You were selected to join the community because we believe you possess the values necessary to thrive in a highly collaborative, collegial, fast pace and fun environment.... a service-obsessive environment, whether that is in service to your colleagues or our students. We are providing this Handbook to you as a roadmap to guide you towards an understanding of life within the Post community, and the non-negotiable behaviors required to experience an extraordinary career at Post University (see next page). Although this Handbook contains certain guidelines to promote behavior that fosters extraordinary interactions with colleagues and students, the use of good judgment in doing the right thing cannot be emphasized enough. Having clarity of our purpose and embracing “extraordinary” in how you carry out your individual role is essential to ensure that our collective extraordinary behaviors manifest in what’s most important –happy and proud associates serving happy and proud students.
You have joined an organization whose exceptional story is founded on being the leader in all phases of our business. We are the second largest university in Connecticut and our exceptional growth will continue. Our distinct way of life at Post and our culture sets us apart from other employers. Post University is driven to be a “best in class” team of caring, talented, and passionate professionals who routinely “Make It Personal” as the essence of each student interaction. In other words, through a personalized approach, Post strives to provide enrolled students with the academic knowledge, tools, resources, mentoring, and life support to fulfill their career dreams. That said, we know that through your values and behaviors, and committing to making every interaction personal, memorable, and extraordinary, you bring authenticity to Post’s “Make It Personal” way of being.
As a community, we are committed to you to help you be your best and providing you the guidance and learnings for unparalleled success throughout your career journey with us. The Post work environment is structured to reinforce our unwavering appreciation and respect for diversity differences, racial equality, and social justice for all – both within Post and the community at large. In simple terms, we are growing an amazing organization where the genuine pride and happiness of students and associates is both routine and authentic.
In brief, we hope this Handbook answers most of your questions about the Post Experience. Periodically, based on your influence or regulatory changes, our policies and practices may need to be altered, and so too will this Handbook; however, your colleagues, the leadership team and the Associate Experience team are always available to address any questions.
Please keep in mind that being a member of the Post family depends on your continual engagement, feedback, and input to continue to shape our imagined future as a world-class leader. Your daily commitment to being extraordinary makes our imagined future a reality. On our journey together your voice matters!
There is a reason we are a perennial “Top Workplace” award recipient, along with several other accolades....it’s because of the special people like you. We feel fortunate to have you on the Post flight to unchartered heights – one mission, one team, one journey! Soar Eagles!!
