Clemmer College Faculty Workload Management System
“When workload is visible, understanding becomes clearer, balance becomes achievable, and faculty contributions can be valued"
The Faculty Workload Management System provides a structured and transparent approach to collecting, managing, and visualizing faculty workload information. The system brings together teaching, research, scholarship and creative activities (RSCA), service, and administrative responsibilities in one centralized platform. The Faculty Workload Management System is designed around a simple approach to making faculty workload more visible, understandable, and equitable.
By combining streamlined data collection with workload calculations and Power BI reporting, the system supports informed workload planning, promotes transparency, and provides a clear view of faculty responsibilities.
