TTC Project Updates

The University of Wisconsin System is creating concise and consistent job titles and job descriptions to help us attract and retain the best people through the Title and Total Compensation Project.

What’s In It For Me?

  • Updated job titles and job descriptions will create greater consistency of job titles across the UW System
  • A job framework will provide long-term career development opportunities within the UW System
  • Market-informed pay and benefits structures will provide a foundation for competitive compensation
  • As a result of the project you will not lose your job, you will not have to reapply for your job, your work will not change, and your pay will not change

It conducted an Employee Benefits Preferences Surveyand a Benefits Value Analysis. More results of the survey will be forthcoming.

Employee Preference Survey Preliminary Findings
