As a result of the new organizational structure, HR will focus on accomplishing the following strategic goals:</p> <ul> <li>Building stronger partnerships with schools, colleges, and administrative units;</li> <li>Improving and streamlining Human Resource transactions, thereby reducing the amount of school and college staff time devoted to Human Resource matters; and</li> <li>Identifying professional development opportunities for University employees.</li> </ul> <h3>Centers of Expertise</h3> <p>The Centers of Expertise will include five centers, each with a clearly defined focus, as well as a dedicated and expanded set of services and skill sets. The centers and the directors leading each team include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Benefits</strong>: <a href="mailto:sazria@syr.edu"><strong>Sarah Azria</strong></a>, Director of Benefits Strategy & Initiatives: Provide strategic advice on the development and maintenance of a competitive benefits program, and manage relationships with all benefits vendors.</li> <li><strong>Compensation: <a href="mailto:pasocker@syr.edu">Pamela Socker</a></strong>, Director of Compensation Strategy: Provide strategic advice to University leaders to ensure equitable and competitive pay throughout the University as well as consistent titling and classifications.</li> <li><strong>Talent Management:</strong> <a href="mailto:aadietri@syr.edu"><strong>Alex Dietrich</strong></a><span>, Associate Vice President of HR Operations & Talent Management Strategy</span>: Provide a full range of global talent recruiting and hiring needs for all University staff and supports staff development and performance evaluation programs.</li> <li><strong>HR Information Technology: <a href="mailto:kwdonahu@syr.edu">Kathi Donahue</a></strong>, Associate Director, HRIT: Manage and maximize Human Resource technology, and lead and support process improvements.</li> <li><strong>Wellness and WorkLife: <a href="mailto:ropatter@syr.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raquel Patterson</a></strong>, Director of Health and Wellness: Manage a range of University wellness and Worklife initiatives and supervise and align the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program with University global workforce needs.</li> </ul> <h3>HR Shared Services</h3> <p>Shared Services is a model that organizes operational and transactional Human Resources functions to deliver consistent, reliable, and customer-centric Human Resource services. The Human Resources Shared Services Center utilizes a balance of people, efficient processes, and technologies that allow schools, colleges, and administrative units to focus on their goals rather than transactional Human Resource functions.</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="mailto:jemennig@syr.edu">Jim Mennig</a></strong>, Director of Shared Services</li> </ul> <p><a name="HRBP"></a></p> <h3>Senior Human Resource Business Partners & Labor Relations</h3> <p>Our Senior Human Resource Business Partners serve as experts who provide frontline strategic advice on a variety of Human Resource matters to a dedicated set of schools, colleges, or administrative units. The Senior HR Business Partners partner with leaders in schools, colleges, and administrative units to identify staff development opportunities, offer strategic advice and assist with HR matters in their areas. One of the benefits of having a dedicated Human Resource partner includes providing faculty and staff more time to focus on the needs of students and less time devoted to Human Resource matters.</p> <ul> <li><a href="mailto:ajbarbut@syr.edu"><strong>Amanda Barbuto</strong></a> <strong>—</strong> <span>Athletics, Student Experience, Marketing, Newhouse, Communications, General Counsel, Board of Trustees/Chancellor and Diversity Office.</span><span></span></li> <li><strong><a href="mailto:lpblair@syr.edu">Lindsay Blair</a> —</strong> <span>Library, Academic Affairs, Falk, Graduate School, and SU Abroad.</span><span> </span></li> <li><strong><a href="mailto:klbotto@syr.edu">Karin Botto</a> — </strong><span>Advancement, Hendricks Chapel and Strategic Initiatives & Innovation (IVMF).</span></li> <li><span></span><a href="mailto:mcjohnso@syr.edu"><strong>Michelle Johnson</strong></a> <strong>—</strong> <span>College of Professional Studies, Information Technology Services, Whitman, Architecture, Education, and iSchool. </span><span></span></li> <li><strong><a href="mailto:ekay03@syr.edu">Eric Kay</a> — </strong><span>Arts & Sciences, Maxwell, Law and Visual & Performing Arts Schools.</span><span></span><strong><br /> </strong></li> </ul> <p>Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer, <strong><a href="mailto:agordon@syr.edu">Andrew Gordon</a></strong>, supports the Board of Trustees, Chancellor’s Department, Office of Human Resources.</p> <p>Our Labor Relations team promotes positive labor-management relations using an interest-based approach to achieve positive outcomes and support the University’s overall mission and strategic plan.</p> <ul> <li><a href="mailto:dcdyce@syr.edu"><strong>Denise C.
