Employee Relations & Organizational Development
UAlbany is committed to life-long learning, and our employees are no exception.
Career skills, tuition reimbursement, microcredentials and certificate programs are just some of the options UAlbany provides to help you reach your career goals.
Employee Relations' Training & Development unit works with all UAlbany employees to identify training and development needs, and then coordinates with partners to design and deliver training and development opportunities.

Have you ever asked yourself: When and how should I reach out to Employee Relations (ER)? Let’s talk about situations that warrant ER involvement, such as handling employee conflicts, addressing policy violations, navigating disciplinary actions and other times when ER can be a helpful resource.
We will cover some best practices for documenting, communicating, and collaborating with ER to help you feel confident that you are making informed decisions and fostering a positive and compliant workplace environment.
