Position Management Process

Position Management at Wellesley College is a process by which the Provost Budget Committee (PBC) monitors FTE growth and headcounts, ensuring the workforce is appropriately balanced and focused on achieving the mission and strategy of the college. The college has implemented a systematic approach to position management requests allowing for consistent, fair and equitable responses to how requests are identified, evaluated, and approved. All positions are reviewed weekly by human resources office and the budget office. Please work with HR partner to discuss specifics of your workforce. More information including the new Provost Budget Committee form can be found on the Position Management webpage.
