Welcome to the UVA HR Culture Hub!

This is YOUR Culture Hub for our HR Organization


HR has always been about serving people, whether supporting faculty, staff, or team members, to do their best in fulfilling the needs of their organization. People within UVA HR are helpers by nature, but in our modern approach to HR, helping isn’t simply reactive task completion. To us, helping people means understanding the needs of people and organizations, anticipating challenges, and asking the right questions to unlock the potential of individuals and teams.

What is the UVA HR Culture Hub?

This is your central source for all things UVA HR culture. Here, we will post downloadable links to our Culture Guide and Culture Cards, updates around upcoming events, and different ways to engage with the UVA HR community.

What is culture? Culture is the unique spirit that forms when a team of people works with one another to achieve the same goal. When describing culture, you’ll often hear, “you’ll know it when you see it.” The goal of this Culture Hub is to create clarity around our mindset at UVA HR so people from across our organization can gain an understanding of and contribute to what makes UVA HR a special place to work.

What is the HR Culture Guide? It's a guide for the road ahead... a roadmap showing where our journey began; strategic pillars, values, and principles we rely upon to guide our daily decisions and actions; our vision for where we're headed; leadership principles that guide us along the way; and strategies and priorities to get us there.
