HR Employee Onboarding Hub
At the University of Florida, people are at the heart of everything we do.
We prioritize a culture of care, opportunity, and excellence so that every employee can perform at their best. Together, we ensure that UF continues to attract, support, and retain the talented people who drive our mission of teaching, research, and service.
HR employees are more than administrators — you are trusted advisors, problem-solvers, and partners in creating a workplace where faculty and staff can thrive. Whether you’re helping a new employee get started, supporting a colleague through a career change, or guiding a supervisor through a workplace challenge, you play a vital role in shaping the UF experience.
This hub was designed just for you. Here, you’ll find quick access to resources, training, and tools to help you feel confident in your role and connected to the larger HR community.
