Our Focus on People
Human Resources serves Green River College by focusing its efforts on the College's most valuable assets, our employees. We do this through recruiting, hiring and retaining a diverse and qualified workforce.
The Role of Human Resources in Serving Students at a Green River College
While Human Resources may not interact directly with students, the work HR does is critical to creating an environment where students can thrive. HR is responsible for recruiting, developing, and supporting the faculty and staff who deliver instruction, provide support services, and lead the institution. By ensuring the college hires highly qualified, diverse, and student-focused employees—and that they are supported with fair policies, meaningful development opportunities, and a culture of inclusion—HR directly impacts the quality of the student experience.
HR also plays a central role in maintaining a safe, respectful, and equitable campus community. Through compliance with labor laws, employee relations management, and workforce planning aligned with strategic goals, HR helps the college remain operationally sound and focused on its mission: student learning and success.
In short, HR serves students by supporting the people and systems that serve students.
