Human Resources
Human Resources helps Tufts fulfill its mission as a student-centered research university with policies and programs designed to attract, retain, and develop a skilled workforce. Although we are one department, we have organized our team members into dedicated focus areas.
Strategic Workforce Services (Human Resource Business Partners)
Strategic Workforce Services is made up of seasoned human resources business partners (HRBPs) who work directly with campus departments as they conduct Talent Acquisition, train, and manage their workforce. This includes helping units establish positive leadership and management practices. Additionally, HRBPs connect departments and employees with other Human Resources services that support and advance their objectives.
