Human Resources for New Faculty

New faculty members will work closely with their school HR liaisons to ensure all applicable benefits are selected and recorded during the first month of employment. Among those benefits are medical insurance, life insurance, and retirement programs. The Office of Human Resources Management also provides information about other benefits, including employee discounts available to all UT Dallas faculty and staff. The information below is a brief collection of the web pages most useful to the new faculty member.

New Feature for Employees

The University of Texas System has joined forced with WebMD to provide faculty and staff with access to the Living Well Health Manager, an online health resource providing tools and information to help you and your family make smart choices about your health. You will have the opportunity to complete a confidential health risk assessment and to work with a health coach several times throughout the year.

To begin, make sure you have completed your benefit enrollment with the Office of Human Resources Management and then go to the Living Well Health Manager to register.
