Human Resources

As strategic partners to the Division of Libraries, Human Resources ensures that NYU Libraries has the diverse workforce and the learning culture needed for all of our employees to achieve the organization’s goals. We are committed to fostering an organizational culture that values diversity, inclusion, equity, belonging, and accessibility. We provide services that help NYU Libraries attract, develop, and motivate people with the skills and abilities to meet the Libraries’ needs of today and tomorrow. As our Diversity and Inclusion Values Statement says, “Inclusion is both an individual and an institutional responsibility,” and HR impacts the employee experience through four main pathways:

Recruitment

Through our recruitment process, we meet talented people that help us further the mission of the Libraries and NYU. The HR department supports full-cycle recruitment (job posting, application review, screening, interviewing, reference checking, and offer). We bring new hires through a holistic onboarding process to join one of the premier academic libraries in the United States and the world.

We hope each person can find a fulfilling career within the Division of Libraries and NYU. To learn more about NYU, check out these employee testimonials. NYU provides a comprehensive package that includes competitive salaries and benefits. Highlights include tuition remission, generous time off and holiday schedule (2 - 5 weeks/year depending on job category), and work-life balance benefits. Please visit our careers page for more information on administrative (exempt) and support (non-exempt) positions.

Learning and Development

We look to provide opportunities for employees to grow and thrive in their careers. Since our organizational priority starts with Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Belonging, and Accessibility, we look to integrate this focus into our programs and offerings. We do this by prioritizing leadership development in various ways, including online workshops (synchronous and asynchronous), promoting NYU enterprise opportunities (via NYU iLearn, or our partnership with reputable organizations such as Academic Impression and LinkedIn Learning).

Employee Engagement

Our employee experience is our sole focus. We influence and reinforce our organizational culture through several engagements throughout the year, including our Onboarding Meeting, New Hires Meet and Greet, supporting Affinity Groups as needed, recognition of service milestones in our annual Service Recognition event, and an array of other events throughout the year.

Organizational Development and Culture

Change is the only constant in our lives, and as such, our HR department must keep attuned to changes internally and externally. We partner with managers and employees to manage these changes and how we can ensure that our principles of IDBEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Belonging, Equity, and Accessibility) and our focus on our employee experience are consistent regardless of the circumstances. These changes shape our culture, and we want to help all employees actively create a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive work environment for all.
