About Heidi Morrison

As a Faculty Recruitment and Compensation Consultant, I bring extensive expertise in post-secondary administration, ensuring that institutions attract, retain, and support high-quality faculty members. My experience in managing academic recruitment strategies, faculty policies, and institutional initiatives has allowed me to streamline hiring processes, enhance faculty engagement, and align recruitment efforts with institutional goals. By collaborating with academic leadership and HR teams, I have contributed to the development of equitable hiring practices and faculty development programs that foster long-term institutional success. With a strong background in project management, I have successfully led initiatives aimed at optimizing faculty recruitment and retention strategies. My ability to design and execute data-driven workforce planning models has improved hiring efficiencies and addressed faculty needs proactively. I have managed cross-functional teams, ensured compliance with collective agreement language, and implemented technology-driven solutions to enhance faculty hiring and compensation processes. These efforts have contributed to improved institutional competitiveness and long-term workforce stability. Specializing in faculty recruitment and retention, I have developed strategic hiring frameworks that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion while attracting top-tier academic talent. My expertise in compensation planning enables me to structure competitive salary frameworks and incentive models that align with institutional budgets and market trends. By conducting compensation analyses and benchmarking studies, I ensure that faculty remuneration remains fair, competitive, and conducive to long-term engagement and performance. My deep knowledge of labour relations and union negotiations has been instrumental in fostering productive relationships between faculty, administration, and unions. I have successfully navigated collective bargaining agreements and contributed to the development of faculty employment policies that balance institutional priorities with faculty needs. With a diplomatic and solutions-oriented approach, I work to create collaborative environments that uphold academic integrity while maintaining compliance with collective agreement language and institutional policies.
