As our Strategic Plan states, UNM Human Resources is first and foremost about people. It is our objective to continually enhance the lives of our faculty and staff, by offering consultation on compliance and non-compliance policies, advancing professional development opportunities and recruiting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce.
We strive to create a culture of respect and inclusion through programing such as our Veteran Hiring Preference Program and robust benefits offerings, including Paid Parent Leave.
We have built an active Employee Wellness program to ensure our faculty and staff are supported in their work and personal lives, and focus on continuous improvement of our technology and systems to increase employee efficiency, satisfaction and success.
Finally, we persistently focus on enhancing the quality and consistency of our services to create a culture of engagement and empowerment to improve the overall experience at UNM. We always seek practical solutions, so if HR can assist in making you’re a role at UNM better, please email us at unmvphr@unm.edu.
