DCU People Contacts
We’ve Improved How We Support You
To ensure your queries are handled more efficiently and reach the right expert immediately, the DCU People Team has transitioned to a centralised DCU People Helpdesk.
One Form, direct to the Right Team
Instead of managing multiple email addresses, you can now log all routine requests through our simple helpdesk ticketing system. This change allows us to provide faster, more consistent support while also allowing you to have better visibility of your requests
Please use the DCU People Helpdesk for day-to-day queries, including:
- Leave & Absence: Annual leave, sick leave and special leave inquiries.
- Documentation: Contracts, reference letters and employment verification.
- Onboarding: Support for new starters and induction queries.
- People Systems: Technical help with HR software and portals.
- Recruitment: Application updates and hiring process queries.
- Learning & Development: Training info, course bookings and growth support.
- Pensions queries: Scheme info, retirement queries.
- EDI queries: Event and policy information, wellbeing queries.
- General Inquiries: Any routine questions for the DCU People Team.
Log a Query via the DCU People Helpdesk
Your usual communication channels are still there for any sensitive or personal matters, but for everything else, we look forward to supporting you through our new Helpdesk!
