Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Human Resources provides leadership in shaping an equitable and inclusive culture that drives diversity, excellence and innovation by supporting talent, engagement, and the employee work experience. – UHR Vision Statement
UHR Leadership Statement
This vision statement is realized through intentionally creating a workplace culture of belonging where all UHR employees are empowered to do their best work as their authentic selves and thrive in a safe and trusting community. As a community we value difference, which leads to greater collective strength.
Culture continually evolves through listening and learning; change is expected and valued. Our growth as a UHR community requires that we engage in honest self-reflection and conversation and seek out alternative perspectives. Each member of our community is responsible for our own personal growth journey as well as the pursuit of opportunities to advance our colleagues. As we collectively explore, learn, and hold ourselves and each other accountable, our norms will change and be reinforced by our actions.
We must stretch and grow to create systematic change and eliminate barriers that marginalize or exclude people based on their identity, status or assumed abilities. We stand together in demonstrating our commitment to making these personal and systemic changes through our words and our actions.
