Who We Are - UVA Human Resources

The UVA Human Resources Organization


UVA HR exists so that people, teams, and organizations can do their best work every day. Each member of UVA HR works in our organization because we care about helping our faculty, staff and team members. Whether it be benefits counseling through important life changes, recruiting more medical professionals to help team members with patient care, providing pipelines for our community members to join the UVA family or creating pathways for our employees to climb the career ladder, our goal is to provide the best possible support so we all work in a productive and positive environment. John Kosky, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
