Employee Relations 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 college/unit's HR professional advises you to contact an Employee Relations consultant in the Office of Human Resources, please contact the Employee Relations consultant assigned to your unit, as indicated below.
Role of the Employee Relations Consultant
Employee Relations consultants in the Office of Human Resources assist college/unit 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
