Employee Lifecycle 

 

The employee lifecycle is the various stages an employee will experience during their time at LSU. Our fundamental belief revolves around fostering a work environment that exudes positivity and support, enabling each individual to thrive. It commences with the formation of their impressions during the recruitment process, advances as they actively participate in various development opportunities, and culminates with their departure from the university.

Here is to embarking on a journey that promises growth, fulfillment, and an exceptionally rewarding career with us at LSU.

Filling a Vacancy

HRM’s Compensation and Talent Acquisition teams will work closely with the Hiring Managers and HR Analysts to ensure the necessary steps are taken to allow for a smooth recruiting process and to create a welcoming candidate experience. Please view Filling a Vacancy in our Digital Resource Library.

Faculty & Staff Recognition Awards

Jazz Brunch  

Dedicated and loyal employees make LSU’s mission possible. The annual Jazz Brunch recognizes and honors LSU employees who have reached 25, 30, 35 or more years of LSU service (in increments of 5 years). Employees, along with their manager, will receive an invitation to celebrate their committed service and are encouraged to make plans to attend this special event. Honorees receive an invitation via email to select an LSU branded gift of their choice from the milestone collection as a token of appreciation for their steadfast dedication to the LSU mission. 

Service Awards

LSU values the importance of commitment to its community. Employees reaching milestones of 10, 15, and 20 years of LSU service receive a certificate and letter of recognition by the LSU President. Certificates are distributed to the employee’s home department to be distributed in the preferred manner of the department, division, or college.

Program Specifics

Only active, full time LSU employees on the A&M campus are recognized within this program. Part Time, Temporary, Gratis, and those employed through nextSource are not included. Employees at other LSU campuses should contact their Human Resource Office to learn about award programs at their campus.

The awards are granted based on the length of time employed by LSU. Time employed as a student employee, Graduate Assistant, unpaid Intern, or employed by other Louisiana State Agencies does not count. Honorees that reach a milestone during a calendar year will be recognized in a ceremony held early in the following calendar year.

The Service Awards Report by Company Service Date report is a report in Workday that can be run by departmental HR Analysts that will provide a list of employees and each year that they will hit a milestone celebrated by this program.

To identify your departmental HR Analyst, in Workday search and select the My HR Contact for Employees report.
