Staff Advisory Council
The Staff Advisory Council is comprised of full-time BYU administrative and staff employees whose purpose is to serve as a liaison between the university’s administration and the university's more than 21,000 employees. The Staff Advisory Council facilitates communication and participation by BYU employees in the decision-making process about campus policies, helps identify areas of interest and concern to the employees of the university, and makes recommendations to the administration regarding the resolution and/or implementation of those issues.

Putting Your Ideas to Work
One of the council's purposes is to research important issues within our university community and to recommend possible change to the administration.
As part of the "Putting Your Ideas to Work" program, questions, concerns, and suggestions are solicited from the campus community's full-time employees. Although the Staff Advisory Council does not have the power to directly implement change, previous council efforts have been instrumental in initiating many improvements.
Some of the ideas recommended by the council that have subsequently been investigated and later implemented include:
- bi-weekly payroll,
- dental and eye care benefits,
- the Executive MBA program,
- changes in dress guidelines for women,
- and making sick/vacation time available by the hour.
The Staff Advisory Council has also given input on such campus issues as safety, grounds, communication, environment/recycling, and a traffic study.
We invite you to submit your ideas and suggestions. We appreciate your participation in this program and need your input!
