HARRT at UCLA

HARRT at UCLA

 
In a complex global society, the effective management of human resources is a key to the success of any organization. The Human Resources Round Table known as HARRT at UCLA was established in 1986 to help foster this success. HARRT at UCLA is a network of human resources executives and academics designed to meet the changing needs of its members. Membership is purposely limited to nurture the relationship of trust that has developed among participants over the years. Our sensitivity to proprietary issues allows for a free exchange of knowledge and insights among executives and faculty. Members are the senior executives responsible for the design and execution of human resources strategy and policy in their organizations, which represent a cross section of leading institutions. Associated faculty are experts in a wide variety of specialties, a reflection of UCLA's interdisciplinary approach to human resources management in and out of the classroom.

HARRT Objectives

 
HARRT's primary objective is to enhance the practice and teaching of human resources management by fostering close ties between academics and senior level practitioners. Such interaction improves executives' knowledge and practice, and offers the opportunity to influence teaching and research, thus helping to shape the quality of their future workforce.
