HRMS upgrade to include key new functionality
The HRMS work stream is excited to announce two key decisions that will mean important new functionality for HRMS users at implementation. The Executive Oversight Committee has approved a timing change to include Time & Labor and Absence Management with the initial implementation. The committee also approved a scope change to include Recruiting Solutions -- previously referenced as Talent Acquisition Management (TAM) or Employee Applicant Tracking -- as part of the current upgrade. These modules will provide high-demand functionality without increasing the project timeline or budget. Kudos to everyone who helped to make the business case for these important system enhancements!
Backes to replace Warren on Integration Steering Committee
Lisa Warren, chair of the Integration Steering Committee since its inception in 2012, has recently stepped down from that role. Andrea Backes (College of Biological Sciences) has assumed the chair responsibilities, effective April 22, 2013. "I am grateful for the masterful role that Lisa has played in helping to get the Program launched. I am also pleased that Andrea Backes, who serves as Director of Finance and HR for me in CBS, will transition into the role as chair,” said Dean Robert Elde, chair of the Executive Oversight Committee. “Since Andrea and I work closely within CBS we will be able to optimally coordinate the work of the committees that we chair."
