The University of Guelph has taken the first step in a multi-year journey to transform our human resources management systems (HRMS) and related administrative processes.

How you can get involved

We need to know what faculty and staff need in terms of self-service options in a new HRMS. Options include the ability to:

  • update personal information
  • submit time-off requests
  • record learning and development
  • navigate recruitment and onboarding processes
  • access benefits and pension information.

Take a survey by May 17 to share your thoughts on requirements for the new system.

Why a new HRMS?

The implementation of an integrated, transformative HRMS will:

  • support the future vision of HR to enhance the employee experience
  • put focus on services that add value in decision making and workforce planning
  • diminish administrative burden.

Learn more about the discovery and consultation phase of this project, including HR’s partnership with Ernst & Young. This phase includes a comprehensive review of:

  • the current state of U of G’s HR systems and processes
  • stakeholder engagement to document needs of various departments/users
  • future-state visioning
  • high-level system requirements.

More information can be found on the HRMS website. Have questions? Contact the project team at HRMS@uoguelph.ca.

This project is jointly sponsored by Martha Harley, associate vice-president (human resources), and Dave Whittle, associate vice-president and chief information officer.
