Human Resources Interdepartmental Partnership

Overview
The Human Resources Interdepartmental Partnership (HRIP) creates a link between the Human Resources Department and other departments on campus. The establishment of this group encourages better communication, with the ultimate goal to improve the work environment and to contribute to the success of the university in accomplishing its goals and objectives. It will also increase campus awareness of the Human Resources Department as a valuable resource and strategic partner.

Purpose
The Human Resources Department strives to ensure a positive, productive relationship between the University and its employees. With that in mind, the purpose of the HRIP is to provide a forum for sharing information and discussing important employee policies and issues including:

• Key university policies, procedures, events, developments or announcements that may affect employees.
• Changes in HR policies or procedures.
• Information regarding significant or relevant HR statistics (i.e., open positions, reasons for leaving, turnover, training, etc).
• Pertinent issues or situations that may exist for employees.
• PeopleSoft.
• Changes in benefits.
• Ideas or suggestions for improving the work environment for staff.
• HR’s role in the University’s strategic plan.

HRIP Membership
The HRIP includes 12-14 members representing a cross section of the entire staff population. Members include representatives from the Staff Association, Faculty Senate and University Assembly, union-eligible employees, Black Faculty and Staff Association and divisional representatives.
