What is an HR Business Partner?
FAQ
How do I get in touch with my HR Business Partner?
Supervisors are encouraged to reach their HRBP directly if they know who they are and have their contact information.
Employees who have questions or want to report an incident pertaining to their own employment are encouraged to enter an HR Mojo ticket to get the most accurate and timely assistance.
What if the HRBP on my campus is not the HRBP for my division?
All of our HRBPs are available to provide a first-level assessment of your need and facilitate its assignment to the appropriate party in HR to assist.
Are Mojo Tickets mandatory over direct contact with HR employees?
It is not mandatory to enter a Mojo ticket. However, calls and emails to the HR department (at 512.223.7572 and hrsupport@austincc.edu) may be converted to Mojo tickets.
Calls, emails, and chats directly to HR Home Office teams or personnel (in Compensation, Benefits, etc) may not result in timely responses as they are primarily used for internal purposes.
Having the bulk of inquiries logged in Mojo allows us to identify, report, and improve areas where we can provide more responsive service.
Mojo tickets will result in contact to the requestor within two College business days.
We currently average one business day and have a 100% 5-star rating among those who have reviewed our service!
What happens if my Mojo ticket gets “ghosted” or I need to escalate my issue?
We are currently working with IT to develop an escalation process.
Please call 512.223.7572 or email hrsupport@austincc.edu if you need to escalate your case.
What if I want a concern to remain confidential?
Information shared will be handled with professional due diligence and the highest level of privacy allowable.
When confidentiality is critical, employees are encouraged to contact the Ombudsperson or the Employee Assistance Program.
What ‘s the difference between the Business Partners and the Ombudsperson?
While there is some overlap in that both roles advise employees on issues that may be affecting their job performance, talking to the Ombudsperson is completely confidential. The Ombudsperson does not even keep records of conversations with employees. The BPs, on the other hand, will listen to the employee and then help determine a course of action, which may include bringing in supervisors or other parties.
Can I get some guidance on hiring and hiring committees?
The BPs will be happy to help, or to point you to someone who can. HR is currently working on a Leading with Values Training Course that will contain a large focus on hiring. That training program should be ready to launch by the end of 2024.
When will my BP be on campus?
The BPs held meet-and-greets at each campus in early July. In early August, they plan to release a schedule showing where they’ll be on what dates. deployment announcements and Meet-n-Greets (in-person and virtual) are scheduled for July 2024.
Until then, they’re happy to meet you by request!
