New Human Resources organization to go-live Sept. 16

September 07, 2019

On May 6, UA announced a system-wide redesign of human resources into a unified office organized by areas of functional expertise. The directors of each functional area began reporting to the Chief Human Resources Officer and working on finalizing implementation and training plans this summer. All other Human Resources staff that went through the redesign process will officially start in their new capacity Sept. 16, 2019. By creating a single human resources organization with a unified presence on all campuses we can benefit from the shared scope of services as well as utilize the knowledge on the local campuses to provide a higher level of service overall.
