Welcome To Employee Relations

Employee Relations offers assistance in a variety of ways including employee recognition, policy development and interpretation, and all types of problem solving and dispute resolution. We serve as a resource for all employees in both supervisory and non-supervisory roles by assisting in resolving issues such as: managing a difficult situation, providing information and support based on Rice policy and practice, and assisting individuals when considering the best course of action for their specific situation.

If you wish to discuss an issue with Employee Relations, confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible. Some issues may require further investigation, such as harassment issues, unlawful behavior, issues critical to Rice operations, etc. In such cases, information will only be shared with other individuals on a need-to-know basis.

Please feel free to contact Colleen Dutton, Director of Compensation and Employee Relations, at 713-348-4755 or at cdutton@rice.edu or Rebecca Millet, Employee Relations Specialist, at 713-348-4791 or at rmm6@rice.edu with any employee relations questions, issues, or concerns.
