They\u2019re the team members that make up the Department of Landscape Services.<\/p>\n<p>But have you ever wondered what it takes to battle the elements or to keep the campus looking its best? Landscape Services crews are made up of arborists, gardeners, mechanics, irrigation, and many more. And the department went to great lengths to engage its team in their own development to grow and build skills in each of these fields.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-13314 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/arborist-def.jpg?resize=376%2C142\" alt=\"arborist def.jpg\" width=\"376\" height=\"142\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recently, MSU Human Resources had the chance to work with Human Resources staff at Infrastructure Planning and Facilities to really dive into the different job types at Landscape Services. This eventually led to what Landscape Services calls its Career Map Wall. This wall shows a breakdown of the different job types in Landscape Services and what an individual would need to acquire to build a career. Check out the following video to see the wall and hear more from Director of Campus<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YjzrE_MEaNI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Why is this Career Map Wall and the concept behind it so valuable to Landscape Services? According to Lawver, \u201cThe vision behind the Career Map Wall was to provide our workforce with transparency and clarity around what knowledge, skills, and abilities were required to advance one\u2019s career at Landscape Services. Most employees want to know how they fit into the big picture and what specifically they need to do to advance in their career. The Career Map Wall leverages the MSU mission and focuses inward on our workforce to support and build each other.\u201d<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-13315 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/second-quote-landscape.jpg?resize=392%2C153\" alt=\"second quote landscape\" width=\"392\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/second-quote-landscape.jpg?w=504&amp;ssl=1 504w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/second-quote-landscape.jpg?resize=300%2C118&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Landscape Services for all your engagement with your work to keep campus ready and looking great in every season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They\u2019re the front line\u00a0battling all kinds of weather on MSU\u2019s East Lansing campus \u2013 clearing off roads so students and employees can move around campus, salting sidewalks, setting up flood barriers and soon, getting MSU&hellip; <a class=\"continue\" href=\"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/?p=13313\">Continue Reading&#8230;<span> Thank You Landscape Services<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb1fcA-3sJ","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13313"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13313\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sourcelive.hr.msu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
