In support of one of the Top 12 2009 Objectives handed down to the President by the Board of Regents, the UNM Division of Human Resources has been asked to conduct a comprehensive review of current UNM staff position classifications.

The project was commissioned in July 2008, well before the “Strategic Spending Pause,” and is not related to any actions being discussed in response to the current economic climate. Outcomes of this study are not expected to have any direct impact on current staff employment of individual salary levels. The study will be conducted in phases.

Are You Sitting Pretty?

UNM Community Wellness

In many jobs, sitting is common and makes sense. When we sit down, we relieve our legs and feet of the weight of our bodies. Sitting consumes less energy and creates a more stable position for precise work than standing. Believe it or not, sitting isn't entirely restful for our bodies (especially when you sit for most of your day)! Our bodies aren't made to stay in one position for long periods of time. Have you ever noticed that after a few minutes of sitting, your body feels the need to squirm? You shift positions, cross and uncross your legs, flex your back and shoulders, or find a reason to get up and walk around.
