The Human Resources Department is one of the main departments in the Deanship of Faculty & Personnel Affairs. It works as an auditor of the basic functions of human resources, excluding those related to academic jobs, to make sure that the processes and procedures that are used to attain, retain, and motivate human resources are effective. In doing so, the Department works with full coordination and cooperation with other concerned departments. This coordination and cooperation is essential for the effective performance of this department and other departments at KFUPM and especially the departments within the Deanship of Faculty and Personnel Affairs. While other Departments may carry out the basic human resources functions such as recruitment, selection, or on-the-job training, the processes and procedures used to perform these functions are designed and monitored by the human resources department. In addition to its role as the auditor of the human resources functions, the Department run the carrier development center and manage all the activities related to personnel training and development at KFUPM.
