Reorganized Human Resources opens Sept. 16

September 12, 2019

University Relations

On May 6, UA announced a systemwide 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 HR staff who went through the redesign process will officially start in their new capacity Sept. 16. 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.

Please note, there are no changes to local embedded HR support staff (PPAs and CCCs) within a unit or department.

The new UA HR organization utilizes functional areas. Here’s who to contact:
