Employee Relations

It is often said that the full-time employees of an organization spend a majority of their life at work. With so much of an individual's life being tied to their work, the quality of the work environment is a key element in the quality of one's life.

The Employee Relations component of Human Resources is concerned about the well-being of all faculty and staff of the University. Our goal is to promote those activities and services that will enhance the work environment for all University employees.

Human Resources provides services to employees including:

• Advice, coaching, and assistance for managers, supervisors, and staff on performance and other on-the-job issues.
• Clarification and advice on University policy and compliance with employment laws such as FMLA, ADA, and FLSA.
• Guidance to management in interpreting collective bargaining agreements.
• Assistance with disciplinary actions.
• Administration of exit interviews.
• Providing employee recognition programs.

Below are key policies to promote and enhance a positive work environment.
