Top Five Reasons to Call Human Resources

You need ideas on how to increase diversity in your unit. HR can help you with alternate recruiting sources and strategies; tactics to ensure diverse candidates receive full consideration Reason#4

You’ve just learned two of your employees are closer than you ever imagined. These relationships exist but can often cause employee relations issues in the unit even if only due to perceived inequitable treatment. Required to have an approved conflict management plan in place. HR provides resources in developing and approves plans. Reason#3

HR will assess if any immediate action is necessary, as well as convening all appropriate entities for a fuller assessment. Reason#2

And the Number 1 reason to call Human Resources... It’s your first week as a Senior Administrator and you have 2 employees quit, another injured in the lab and 5 employees just left your office after complaining for an hour about one of your most productive faculty...
