HR's Organizational Philosophy

"We serve the University of Arizona as advisors, consultants and organizational champions.

We believe managers are responsible and accountable for their decisions and we provide information and resources to support them to make the right decision at the right time.

We believe employees are responsible for their own achievements and we provide information and resources to help them reach their goals.

We believe in the power of ethical behavior, critical thinking and adherence to organizational standards. We believe explicit community expectations are preferable to policies, as good judgment is not easily codified.

We believe that an organization is most effective when:

  • Leaders articulate a clear and compelling vision and model integrity accountability, and innovative thinking.
  • It employs high-quality, ethical and committed individuals.
  • All of its members know what is expected of them.
  • Diverse perspectives and experiences are sought and valued.
  • Respectful behavior is expected at all levels.
  • Its members are empowered to make decisions and take calculated risks.
  • Flexibility is permitted wherever possible.
  • Organizational leaders move quickly, but prudently, to address or remove individuals whose actions and performance are inconsistent with organizational needs and values."
