Human Resources Center

The role of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library’s Human Resource Department is to ensure the smooth running of the library, its employees and employers. The Human Resource Department is open during library hours, in person or online. For more information, contact Human Resources at 404.978.2033. We’re here to support your growth, from onboarding to career development, ensuring you have the resources and environment to thrive. Whether it’s benefits, training, or workplace wellness, we’re committed to making your experience rewarding and fulfilling.

Employee Relations

The Woodruff Library believes that the work conditions, wages, and benefits it offers to its employees are competitive with those offered by other employers in this area and in this industry. If employees have concerns about work conditions or compensation, they are strongly encouraged to voice these concerns openly and directly to their supervisors.

Our experience has shown that when employees deal openly and directly with supervisors, the work environment can be conducive to exceptional performance, communications can be clear, and attitudes can be positive. We believe that the Woodruff Library fully demonstrates its commitment to employees by making every effort to respond timely and effectively to employee concerns.

In an effort to protect and maintain direct employer/employee communications, we will resist organizing within applicable legal limits and protect the right of employees to speak for themselves.

Equal Employment Opportunity

In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at the Robert W. Woodruff Library will be based on merit, qualifications, and abilities. The Woodruff Library does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.

The Woodruff Library will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in undue hardship for the organization. The Equal Employment Opportunity policy governs all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training.

Any employees with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace are encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of their immediate supervisor or the Human Resources Department. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal. Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
