Organizational Structure and Chart

Illinois Human Resources has recently realigned to a new organizational chart, designed to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the diverse needs of our university community. The chart now features four key units:

  • Centers of Expertise: Within this domain, we bring specialized expertise to address specific HR functions. Whether it’s talent acquisition, benefits administration, or employee relations, our Centers of Expertise are equipped to provide comprehensive support and guidance.
  • Culture, Learning & Engagement: Committed to cultivating a positive and inclusive work environment, this area emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and employee engagement. We strive to promote a culture that encourages growth, development, and meaningful interactions.
  • Finance, Administration & Shared Services: Finance, Administration and Shared Services provides coordinated operational support to ensure efficient, consistent business functions across the organization. This area brings together Administrative Operations, the Service Center, and Shared Services to streamline processes, deliver responsive support, and enable effective financial and administrative management.
  • Strategic Programs & Partnerships: Our Strategic Programs and Partnerships team is committed to helping shape the future of our university’s workforce. We are partners in pioneering initiatives, fostering collaborations, and envisioning the evolving landscape of our talent ecosystem.

Illinois Human Resources organizes its work to align with campus priorities and the needs of our customers. Our structure reflects our commitment to learning, engagement, and expertise, and it will continue to evolve over time.
