As generalists, the HR Services (HRS) team is the principal point of contact for employees throughout their life cycle at St. John’s University. HRS provides guidance and support to managers and employees to facilitate positive work relations, address a variety of issues within departments, such as performance, staffing, employee engagement, workflow, conflict, etc., and put plans in place to improve conditions and enhance service levels.
