What is a Human Resources Liaison?

 A Human Resources liaison is someone within a department who is appointed by their Dean, Department Head, Director or Vice Chancellor to act as the communication link between the Human Resources department and their own department. There will also be different departments (i.e., Budget, Payroll) who will attend meetings to share their own department specific information with liaisons.
