HR Collaboration Team

Human Resources established an internal collaboration team to improve human resources workflow processes and system workflows. Members of the group will be prioritizing items that have the greatest impact on stakeholders.  External stakeholders will be kept apprised of progress through this website.  HR may be outreaching to stakeholders to gather feedback as specific processes are reviewed.  Because process work flows impact many users, there will be a specific plan to review each identified opportunity, engage with stakeholders, make necessary updates (forms, PPMs, etc..), and communicate out final changes. 

Collaboration Team Objectives

  • Identify situations/processes that are documented (partially or fully). 
  • Review the history and evolution of the situation/process.
  • Work collaboratively to adjust or document procedures of what is needed by all stakeholders for identified situations and processes. 
  • Document who owns the process and who is accountable for compliance with a goal of standardization. 
  • Identify the appropriate storage location for processes.
  • Formalize a procedure change. 
  • Update PPMs (as appropriate). 
  • Craft communication plan for procedure change/update for internal and external stakeholders. 
  • Follow documented procedures when unique situations arise. 
  • Confirm alignment of adjusted process with internal and external stakeholders as appropriate. 
  • Continuously communicate if something is out of documented procedures.
