Human Resources has a new website
All of the information you are used to finding on the HR website is here, but organized slightly differently. To help you navigate, here are some highlights:
- You will find everything organized by topic under HR Services. Within this page, we have organized content by service line: Payroll, Benefits and Leaves, Labor Relations, Data and Analytics, Hiring, and Organizational and Talent Development.
- Supervisor resources can be found within the HR services pages by topic, or in the Employee Resources menu for Supervisors.
- For quick access to an item, check the A-Z index and locate it alphabetically.
Our hope is the new site will be easy to use and will enable everyone to readily locate the information they need. As this is a big change, we are very open to feedback and ready to assist anyone who would like help navigating the new site. Please feel free to reach out to Cara Bryant with your thoughts and questions.
Anti-racism Message and Resources
What can we do? A question I have been asking myself following the recent tragic murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others in the Black Community. First, let me express my personal outrage and that I stand in solidarity against injustice, racism, and discrimination. While I can never put myself in the shoes of the Black community, nor truly understand your anguish, I acknowledge the pain, anxiety, and stress you are feeling, and I stand and support you.
