How to Work With Us
Each department and center has a dedicated HR Partner who is the main point of contact for any HR-related questions and will triage and refer to other support functions as appropriate. The FAS community can find their assigned HR Partner by filtering on their department. We also have four dedicated email inboxes:
- General inquiries: fashr@fas.harvard.edu;
- Talent acquisition: talentacquisition@fas.harvard.edu
- HR Operations: FASHROps@fas.harvard.edu
- Leaves: Leaves@fas.harvard.edu
The FAS HR/Payroll support matrix is an additional wayfinding tool to help you determine who to call for support.
