Empowering People, Driving Excellence.
The Human Resources Department at Beirut Arab University manages the university’s human capital with commitment to integrity, innovation, and service excellence. We oversee the recruitment, professional development, and administrative workflows for academic and non-academic staff, ensuring strategic alignment with BAU’s institutional objectives and values.

Employees at BAU enjoy a variety of services including scholastic financial aid for their children, compensations and remunerations in special events and holidays, a health and dental plan, and a flexible holiday system that assists employees in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

To maintain a proper work-life balance, BAU provides its employees with flexible options for absences, vacations, and early leaves. These absences and leaves are governed by rules and regulations to prevent any disputes between BAU and employees.

In this section, you will find descriptions for different kinds of leaves.

• Absence due to illness: BAU is concerned about the health and wellbeing of all its employees. However, the University has also set specific rules and regulations that govern employee absence. These can be found in the employee’s iConnect account under the tab “Employee Services” and the category “Employee Resources”.
• Annual vacation: The annual vacation is governed by BAU’s Bylaws in the specific sections for academic or administrative staff.
• Special Leave: In addition to the above, employees are entitled to special leave in case of death of a family member.

To obtain leave from the University for any of the above reasons, employees should fill in the forms required for obtaining leave found in their iConnect account and obtain the direct approval of their supervisors (Director, Dean…etc.).

BAU allows all its employees to benefit from scholastic support for the provision of children’s schooling. The University also allows the children of employees to benefit from university financial aid at BAU under certain conditions.

BAU highly stresses on the value of education and learning. Not only do we devote attention to student learning; we also greatly value staff learning and development. For this reason, BAU regularly organizes workshops and lectures to improve the skills of staff at the University.
