HR Promise

We recognize that institution managers are responsible for human resource management of their staff.  Our HR team will be an advocate for creating a respectful and inclusive workplace.  Our role is to work in strategic partnership with managers, and support them in carrying out their human resource management responsibilities.

To do so our HR team will:

• Demonstrate respect, in our actions, our written and verbal communications (formal and informal), and in our working relationships.
  
  
• Recognize the importance of each individual.
  
  
• Be accountable for our work and the quality of our service.
  
  

• Provide best practice HR tools and consultation.
  
  
• Seek to work as strategic partners with client managers and understand the full nature of the work for which they are responsible.
  
  

• Balance our expert advice, with hands on assistance in the context of a collaborative relationship.
  
  

• Provide coaching that helps those involved look more deeply at the symptoms of problems to discover and address root causes.
  
  
• Ensure a consistent application of collective agreements and University policies, taking into account each set of circumstances.
