Over the last 14 months, colleagues in HR and Finance have partnered to embark on an exciting project to improve the University’s staff establishment controls. The project was initiated in November 2021 with the aim to implement a budgeted HR establishment system to effectively manage our people resources and provide improved correlation between HR and Finance data with a more accessible view of the budgeted establishment.
The hard work of building the system, validation, and initial testing is now completed and we will shortly be announcing the soft launch of an enhanced Staff Connect capability. These improvements come with a host of new features, benefits and improved practises and ways of working.
During the soft launch period, which will last for at least 3 months, training and support will be given to relevant managers and staff on how to use the system. Follow-up communications will be circulated to relevant teams that manage staff establishments, with details on the next steps and to make arrangements for this training.
