HR News and Announcements

Welcome to the Newly Redesigned Human Resources Website

Human Resources has been working behind the scenes to redesign our existing website with the goal to streamline the information and make it easier for new hires and employees to find the information they need.

For many years, the Human Resources website has been structured with content separated based upon the user’s role at the university. This information was divided into areas pertaining to Job Seekers, New Hires, Employees, and Supervisors.

We are pleased to announce that the redesign will convey all information in a more cohesive and easier to understand manner. Therefore, users will now find the information categorized by content area and will no longer need to navigate to various sections based upon role.

In order to assist the campus community with familiarizing themselves with the new layout, we are providing a document, which gives an overview of the new site structure. This information should assist users with finding the content they are seeking while becoming accustomed to the new design.

Now that we are live with the newly designed site, we encourage users to provide feedback or ask any questions they might have. We ask for your patience as we transition to this new layout and make additional corrections to broken links or other issues that may arise. As always, please feel free to reach out if you need assistance by emailing Nicole Zamary or calling 850.474.2608.
