Human Resources’ Tom Fitch flashed a variety of numbers on the screen Oct. 6 in order to “de-mystify hiring practices at Emory.” Around 100 staff members attended the brown-bag lunch panel in Winship Ballroom where they heard from administrators like President Jim Wagner and Provost Earl Lewis, as well as representatives from HR, the General Counsel’s Office and Equal Opportunity Programs, all of whom discussed various aspects of how and why people get jobs across the Emory enterprise.
