IQSS plans and directs a comprehensive program of human resource management for all affiliates. Our services are available to individual affiliates as well as to programs under the IQSS umbrella.
Our HR team has detailed knowledge of FAS and Central HR policies and practicies. For faculty affiliates who hold their finances within us, we can serve as the interface between you and Central HR, handling all of your personnel transactions. Typical HR issues include processing academic appointments, hiring undergraduate and graduate students, processing visas for foreign visitors, drafting contracts with off-campus contractors, obtaining short-term Harvard IDs for visitors, implementing performance management systems, managing employee relations, and assisting with change management issues. We can also help answer questions regarding benefits, employment status, work/life balance, professional development and learning, compensation and performance reviews, training, hiring practices, leaves of absence, and harassment or discrimination concerns.
The IQSS HR services allow you to focus your resources and energy on scholarly activities rather than on time-consuming transactional and processing issues related to personnel. You can leave those to us with confidence.
If you are interested in utilizing our services, please contact Stephen Coady, Assistant Director for Administration, or contact us by using our form. Select HR support in the Category list and provide the details of your request in the message.
