The People Plan provides a roadmap for Capilano University's people, culture and diversity journey into 2030.
It is important to recognize that while the University's people, culture and diversity department is the custodian of the plan, the ability to move this plan forward is reliant on the work and activities of all employees at CapU.
At its core, the People Plan and its five pillars of employee engagement support the values, goals and strategic priorities in both Envisioning 2030 and Illuminating 2030, and it commits the University to a set of actions over the next three years. By listening to all our employees at CapU, we will work together to determine the best strategies to achieve the successful outcomes put forth in this plan.
To everyone who works at CapU, the People Plan represents the University's commitment to support all employees to create a distinct university experience for all learners.
