New HR initiative to help staff affected by federal funding cuts

Many faculty work with staff members who are concerned about the future of their jobs amid federal funding uncertainty. To address this, UNM Human Resources is launching the Term Retention Initiative (TRI), a new program that aims to support term appointment staff in positions that are ending because of external funding cuts. The TRI “offers a single application process for impacted employees to join one or more targeted talent pools based on their experience and interests. Hiring departments are encouraged to review and connect with these applicants prior to publicly posting open positions. This provides for faster hiring for departments and less uncertainty for staff navigating role transitions and positions UNM to retain staff who are already trained, experienced, and aligned with our mission.” Learn more.
