A Look at Human Resources

You may visit the HR page once a year for Open Enrollment or you may stop by every day to print a form or check on an upcoming event. No matter how you use HR, the team is hard at work to serve you better whenever you need any of the services we provide. This portion of our website shows you a side of HR that is more than benefits or job opportunities. Take a look at how HR is evolving, how our past practices have merited award recognition, and how our team is connecting to the Syracuse community.

I've mapped some goals for the 2007-2008 fiscal year. Here's what's at the top of my list for this year:

1. Scholarship in Action: Recognize and encourage excellence in the workplace in support of Scholarship in Action.

2. New medical plans: Explore the possibility of adding additional choices to the medical plan benefit.

3. Employee Handbook: Update the Staff Employee Handbook and move from a hard copy to a web-based version.

4. Respectful Workplace & Dialogue Circles: Continue development and presentations of the Respectful Workplace sessions and launch a Dialogue Circle in Spring 2008.

5. Compensation: Continue work on faculty pay reporting (in conjunction with Academic Affairs) and initiate a staff compensation study supported by a consultant.

6. Workplace Partnership Council (WPC): Continue work with the SEIU WPC with special consideration to the 2010 negotiations and employee engagement.

7. Coordinated Staff Relations Strategy: Support the staff relations and recruitment team as they work with, and secure contracts for, all campus unions.

8. Introduce Mickey Lord (newly hired WorkLife and Organizational Development Director): Key drivers in her first year include: performance partnership, exemplary achievement, Syracuse University Employees Engaging Community (SUEEC) and the family care assessment.

9. PeopleSoft 9.0: Prepare campus users for the upgrade.

10. Wellness: Expand wellness initiatives around a healthy campus and toward the goal of driving down health care costs.

We are proud of our commitment to providing the highest quality service to the University community and look forward to making your employment experience the best it can be. Reporting to the Senior Vice President for Human Services and Government Relations, Human Resources provides leadership and service to the campus community in the areas of employee benefits, recruitment and hiring, WorkLife and organizational development, training, student employment, rewards and recognition, staff relations, diversity education, and offers assistance and counseling to University employees.

Make the most of our resources by becoming familiar with Who we are, What we do and Why we do it.
