Take the 2021 Safety Survey by Feb 19

Hello Shoreline Community College community,

Please take a few minutes to complete a short safety survey…with questions about workplace safety that are relevant for each of us.  Each year, the DES State Office of Risk Management, together with the State Agency Safety Professionals Alliance (SASPA), administers the safety survey.  The 2021 Safety Survey will be open for all state employees through February 19, 2021 and can be found here.

Because many state employees spent time teleworking as a result of the pandemic, this year’s survey provides answer options for teleworkers as well as an additional question that will allow agencies to see their results by employees who primarily teleworked in last 12 months and those who did not.

The survey contains language in the Introduction that provides the following clarification for employees who primarily teleworked during the last 12 months:  The term “workplace”, “work area” or “work site” is used frequently throughout this survey. These terms refer to your home or any location that you have been or are currently teleworking. 

The intent of the survey is to enhance our culture of worker safety.  State agencies use survey results to develop a safety action plan for addressing the issues identified.  Survey information will help Shoreline Community College Safety Managers, Safety Officers and Safety Committee members evaluate our safety program, identify gaps and plan safety initiatives to enhance employee workplace safety.

The survey is anonymous.  Results will be collected by the DES State Office of Risk Management, then tallied and sent in summary form to each state agency. To complete the survey, please click this link. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

VP for Business & Administrative Services

Updated Suspended Operations Memo

Good Afternoon All,

With the potential for snow looming this week, please find the updated 2020-21 Suspended Operations memo from President Roberts for your review and reference.  To ensure you’re signed up to receive emergency alerts, please check your communication settings at www.shoreline.edu/connect.

As the College is currently operating in predominantly remote operations, situations where an employee is unable to work from home due to inclement weather are anticipated to be limited this year. With this mind, employees will be expected to continue work in remote operations (including online instruction and all other remote services) unless campus is notified that all College services have been closed.  

Noting that individual employees may be impacted by local power outages or other technology interruptions due to weather, supervisors should utilize HR in support of identifying options such as flexed schedules, alternate locations, and/or leave available depending on the specific needs of the situation.

Questions? Please feel free to contact HR by email at scchr@shoreline.edu at any time.

Thank you,

Veronica Zura

Executive Director

January 28 Zoom Hall Recording

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for attending the first winter quarter 2021 Campus Update meeting (“Zoom Hall”) on Thursday, January 28. Here is the captioned video recording from the meeting.

Thank you for the very thoughtful and in-depth questions and comments. We were able to respond to all of the questions by the end of the meeting, giving us an opportunity to enjoy the Shoreline Community College Virtual Ensemble 2021’s rendition of Lovely Day. As we viewed the performance together, the following popped up in the Q&A:

“This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I wish we could end every meeting this way. :)”

“Please thank Jeff and his students, that was great.”

“That was fantastic! Can we get more of that?!!!”

“Nice work :-)”

Respectfully,

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
