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 an invitation-only membership organization for Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief Diversity Officers, and their teams. Membership is purposely limited to nurture the relationship of trust that has developed among participants and academics 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 delivers regular educational events, fosters peer-to-peer collaboration, and promotes the development of transformative HR strategies for the future. We welcome progressive leaders who demonstrate a serious commitment to building future-ready organizations.
HARRT is proudly affiliated with UCLA College, UCLA Anderson School of Business, and the Institute for the Research on Labor and Employment.
A unique University of California Collaboration designed specifically for Sr. HR Executives
