WHY HR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT?

Human Resources is an important and integral function that has a positive impact on UCI’s employees and culture. Our clients – leaders and employees – need proactive HR expertise that is current, relevant, strategic and timely. Our objective is to ensure that all HR staff develop and achieve their career aspirations while ensuring that UCI’s strategic goals are accomplished through talent strategies.

We offer a multitude of options for professional development. While the organization, leaders and employees are all responsible for employee development, the employee must take accountability for their own career and proactively manage their own career development.
