The Human Resources Office is responsible for coordinating and developing Umeå University’s employer policy and for ensuring the authority meets its employer responsibilities. The overall goal for the office is for Umeå University to be an attractive workplace for current and future employees. We work strategically to develop all areas of human resources and are responsible for reviewing university-wide policy documents, processes and system support related to human resources.
