The HR Field Team members serve as strategic, consultative thought partners who work directly within the Lab’s divisions to align day-to-day employee decisions with broader organizational goals. When workplace opportunities or challenges arise, team members listen actively, clarify employment policies, outline solution-focused options, and map out actionable next step. Embedding designated HR professionals within specific divisions, ensures scientists and staff have direct, immediate access to an expert colleague. Individual employees should look up and reach out directly to the specific HR Partner Team member responsible for supporting their particular Division whenever local personnel needs arise. For general HR inquiries, please contact the HR Solutions Center (HRSC@lbl.gov).
Ultimately, the team’s work benefits the Lab by fostering a positive, fair, and productive work environment. By helping leaders effectively manage and grow their staff, they improve employee engagement and help the Lab retain top talent. Their proactive support during organizational changes ensures smooth transitions, maintaining the operational stability and long-term institutional growth necessary to support the Lab’s core mission.
