Human Resources

The human resources team supports all SPH employees to successfully carry out their work in educating and serving students, conducting cutting-edge research, engaging with our many communities, and otherwise advancing the mission of our School.

The team advises managers regarding human resources matters, including:

  • Recruitment, hiring, and onboarding
  • Compensation and classification
  • Conflict management, change management, and workplace issues
  • Performance management, ranging from expectation setting, development, and coaching/discipline
  • Rewards and recognition
  • Interpretation and application of employment-related laws and regulations and University policies, rules, and labor contracts
  • Planning and implementing organizational design and process improvement initiatives

Team members also serve as a confidential source of information for employees on human resources-related programs and other University resources.

For information for faculty and staff, please see the Human Resources section of the intranet.
