Administrative Operations
Administrative Operations manages all support functions for IHR. This includes financial management, budgeting, processing payables and receivables, all HR functions for IHR as a unit (new hires, separations, searches, payroll, etc.), including information technology and desktop support for the unit. Staff in this area manage purchasing and inventory management of supplies and equipment along with facilities management of our four locations. Admin Ops recently created a service center that will act as a multi-disciplinary unit established with the primary objective of adhering to legal and regulatory requirements by providing compliance oversight, streamlining operations and gaining process efficiencies with the goal of mitigating risk. They will partner with functional subject matter experts (SMEs) to support HR programs and service commitments. Staff in this area serve as the liaison with the Board of Trustees Office for academic staff appointments, manage the academic staff notification of appointment (NOA) and notice of non-reappointment (NONR) processes, and re-employment of retirees.
