Human Resources Consultants
Your first contact for assistance with any human resource issue is your college or administrative unit's HR professional. HR professionals know human resource policies and procedures particular to your unit.
If your unit's HR professional advises you to contact an HR consultant, please contact the HR consultant assigned to your unit, as indicated below.
Role of the HR Consultant
Human resource consultants assist HR personnel, as well as managers and employees, with employment issues across the University. Their work includes:
- Interpreting and applying employment-related policies, rules, and contracts.
- Assisting with performance management issues, ranging from hiring, rewards, and recognition, to discipline and termination.
- Resolving conflicts and managing difficult workplace situations, including facilitating union grievances.
- Providing customized training about employment subjects.
- Leading units through organizational development
Consultants in the Academic Health Center Human Resources Office are available to assist HR personnel, managers, and employees in the AHC colleges, centers, and units.
