University of California, Berkeley

New Manifesto

Over the past few months, we took a break to re-envision HR at Berkeley. Part of that effort involved taking a new look at what contributes to the excitement of working at Berkeley. What makes this a special place from the operational perspective? The statement below captures the feelings of many and hopefully will resonate with those who are thinking about working at Berkeley.

Manifesto

As employees of Berkeley, we are part of an institution that uncovers new knowledge, conducts groundbreaking research and shifts the global conversation every single day.

We all do different things. (Very different things.)

But together, we are serving a university that's unlike any other. No matter our role, we help Berkeley redefine what's possible.

We do this by being inclusive  —  of ideas, of people, of points of view.

By being accountable — to each other, to our teams, to our commitments.

By simplifying whenever possible. (It's often how the best solutions arise.) By taking risks. (And learning from them.) And by serving Berkeley, and everyone who is a part of it, with respect.

Individually, we are experts at what we do. Collectively, our impact is even greater.

As employees of Berkeley, when we reimagine the possibilities of our own world, we shape the one around us.

Reimagine your world at Berkeley.
