HR uses a variety of communication methods to reach every employee (see Internet, Listservs, and Face-to-Face communication methods above). We administer benefits for all benefits-eligible employees and oversee employment for UNM Staff members. We work closely with Faculty Contracts on Main and North Campus to communicate employment information that is not benefits related to UNM Faculty (e.g., University-wide training, campus calendar, supplemental retirement plans, process improvements, etc.). UNM Affiliates such as UNM Medical Group, UNM Hospitals, UNM Foundation, and Lobo Energy all have their own Departments of Human Resources to administer benefits and oversee employment for those entities.
HR Agent works with and on behalf of the principal executive of a "Level 3" Organization, serving as the Organization's primary representative and liaison to the Division of Human Resources on strategic HR matters. They represent their organization through interactive input and feedback to central HR on institutional HR programs, initiatives, communications, and process strategies. In this role, HR Agents serve as a conduit for communication between the HR Division and their organization conveying accurate, consistent, and timely information to staff and faculty within their operating unit.
All UNM employees in a manager or supervisor position have the responsibility of communicating employment information to the employees who report directly to them. For employees who do not regularly work at a computer or who might be on an extended leave, managers/supervisors are the best avenue to ensure all employees receive important communications.
When a person becomes an employee of UNM, he or she is issued a UNM email address. This email address is the primary method that the Division of Human Resources will use to communicate with employees. It is the responsibility of the employee to check this email periodically and respond as needed. If an employee does not have access to a computer, UNM has numerous computer labs across campus and the HR Service Center also offers computer stations for employees to use. Some departments have dedicated computers for those employees who do not regularly access one in their daily work. Visit the Listserv page to find the schedule of listservs messages. If an employee is not receiving these emails, it is his or her responsibility to contact the Division of Human Resources to identify the problem.
