"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."
- HR Vision Statement
University Human Resources adopted this vision statement in 2017 and updated it in 2019. Our vision embraces institutional values, underscores departmental priorities, and reflects the multifaceted work of HR professionals across campus.
The HR Strategic Plan provides a strategic and tactical framework for University Human Resources and the HR community campus-wide. It prioritizes talent acquisition, leadership development, employee experience, and agility and innovation.
The plan supports university-level goals for student success; faculty teaching, research, and scholarship; engagement; diversity, equity, inclusion, and collaboration. It recognizes that every institutional goal depends on the university's ability to attract, develop, and retain exceptional people.
