VCU HR Strategic Plan

One of VCU's many strengths is our employee excellence driving achievement of uncommon goals. VCU HR supports the employees who make amazing things happen for our students, patients, and community. 

The VCU HR strategic plan sets forth the department's priorities for calendar years 2024 through 2026. The plan was developed in alignment with Quest 2028 and the Division of Administration Mission and Guiding Principles, incorporating feedback from staff surveys, listening sessions, and the VCU HR community. By organizing the plan into three high priority areas with many sub-projects, we remain agile and responsive to future needs as they arise.
