Human Resources Strategic Initiatives
Committed to continuous improvements, the strategic initiatives identified represent our desire to move closer to achieving the goals outlined in our K-State 2025 Strategic Plan. Many of these goals will have a direct impact on the campus community while others will have an internal, HR focus.
HRIS Upgrade
The HRIS Upgrade will impact the culture and environment of K-State by empowering employees to become better stewards of resources. Upgrading to PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources 9.2 will further allow K-State to: stay compliant on tax and regulatory compliance; fix critical functional issues; and apply critical security, as well as provide advanced support to all users.
Competency Model and Career Ladders
The competency model will help to develop career ladders to support vertical and horizontal career movement. Career paths are the center piece of an effective talent management system. By aligning talent management processes and providing linkage between job roles, desired competencies, and key experiences, career paths lead employees toward the university mission.

Holistic Onboarding
The Holistic Onboarding Program will acclimate new employees to K-State's culture and environment, supporting and addressing the needs of the "whole" person. Creating a comprehensive new employee program designed to welcome new employees to K-State, will enhance and streamline the onboarding experience, impacting new employees, faculty and staff across campus.
K-State Supervisory Foundations
K-State Supervisory Foundations is a comprehensive supervisory program which will be offered to all K-State supervisors, regardless of their level of supervision. With input from a variety of sources, including the 2017 Professional Development Needs Assessment, content was developed. Programming will allow participants to learn from subject matter experts and gain competence in a variety of areas such as communication, performance management, diversity and inclusion, managing conflict, understanding university policy, and much more.
