HR To You

Human Resources is available to help you and your team further understand the personal and operational benefits of working at CSUN, understanding how CSUN works, and making the team experience more enjoyable and productive.  

Invite HR to a regularly scheduled or new meeting to present on a topic designed to help individuals and teams understand and succeed.  We can cover a single topic and provide a Q&A in as little as 15 minutes, or cover related or several topics as needed.  We can also tailor the content and presentation for general or specific audiences (all staff, management, department coordinators, etc.).
