Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to building a world-class workforce dedicated to educational excellence by recruiting, developing, recognizing, and retaining outstanding employees. The Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer comprises five offices, each providing an integral task in supporting its mission.
The Office of Employee Relations (OER) ensures fair and equitable treatment of staff and compliance with federal, state, and local laws, as well as FCPS policies and regulations affecting equal opportunity in education and employment. To that end, OER monitors activities ranging from performance management (available to current employees on the FCPS Employee Hub) to ensuring a discrimination-free workplace. The office facilitates assessment processes that support a high-performing workforce's supervision, development, and retention.
The Office of Employee Services and Operations (ESO) provides customer service and support to potential, current, and former employees, using the FCPS StaffConnect online portal as an effective two-way communication tool.
The Salary Services team manages salary plans and internal employee transfers, maintains official personnel records, processes new employees, and provides employment verifications.
The Classification and Compensation team conducts formal job and organizational reviews to ensure that FCPS is classifying jobs to meet not only its budget, but also the division’s legislative, regulatory, recruitment, retention, and organizational objectives.
The HR Technology team provides functional, technical, and data support for the range of applications required to meet the Human Resources mission.
The HR Communications and Employee Programs team oversees employee communications plans and is also responsible for many of the division’s recognition and engagement programs. These include employee surveys, awards, recognition events, service milestones, and an annual retirement ceremony.
The Client Services/Welcome Center team administers the FCPS onboarding program, including fingerprinting appointments, and offers human resources and employment assistance.
The Office of Labor Relations provides strategic leadership and direction to FCPS’s labor relations initiatives. Partnering closely with employees at all levels of the organization, the office is committed to fostering a collaborative path to find solutions to better the services we deliver to our students every day.
