A new readiness survey will help University communities prepare for The Upgrade. Piloted by the College of Liberal Arts (CLA) and the Office of Human Resources (OHR), the survey is an easy-to-use checklist for preparation, and delivers helpful data on unit readiness.
The survey can be used as-is with data recorded into Qualtrics for analysis, or units can customize the survey and conduct their own assessments. The survey will be distributed to units in mid-February.

Readiness Surveys Show Progress and Gaps
The pilot surveys achieved very strong participation, with a 90% response rate in CLA, and a 55% response rate in OHR, despite the latter pilot being conducted over the two weeks that included the holiday break. Responses showed that University employees are making steady progress in preparing for The Upgrade, but more preparation is needed.
Here are a few of the findings from the OHR pilot, which was sent to HR Leads, HR Stars, and OHR Employee Relation Consultants:
Pilot Survey Findings: Strengths
- Respondents are aware of training and how to prepare
- Respondents are comfortable with time and absence management changes
- Respondents are aware of changes to payroll accounting
Pilot Survey Findings: Opportunities
- Supervising faculty need training on how to approve and delegate time and absences in the upgraded system
- Faculty need to be ready to handle student registration questions
