Talent Development and Employee Experience (TDEE)

People & Talent Hub (PATH) Overview

The People & Talent Hub (PATH) model brings strategic HR partnership, talent acquisition, and day-to-day HR operations together as one dedicated team supporting your unit.

The PATH Team partners with leaders and managers across the full employee lifecycle—from workforce planning and hiring to employee relations, employee changes, retention, and engagement. By working as an integrated team, we can better understand your unit’s priorities, anticipate needs, and provide more coordinated and proactive HR support.

One Team. One Partnership.

PATH Organizational Chart

Each PATH Team brings together three complementary roles, working closely together to support your unit.

PATH Organizational Structure

PATH Team Members

Each PATH team is represented by three core job functions. This integrated approach allows us to connect the dots between talent acquisition, workforce needs, employee experience, and day-to-day HR operations—so that our support is not only responsive, but proactive and aligned with your unit’s goals.
