ISD job showcase
Tuesday, Jan. 8
9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Memorial Union
Employees interested in learning more about specialist positions in finance and human resources should mark their calendars for a Jan. 8 job showcase. Participants can drop in as their schedules allow during the daylong event, which is another step in a phased approach to improved service delivery (ISD).
Who should attend?
The event is open to all employees, but targeted to staff with responsibilities in human resources, payroll and finance. In campus presentations about the ISD models, administrators emphasized their intent to fill specialist positions with qualified current staff.
Specialists will be part of service teams and report to supervisors with similar knowledge and expertise. Jobs include:
- Financial services specialist
- Procurement expenses specialist
- Grants finance specialist
- Staff recruiting specialist
- HR partner
- HR coordinator
What will employees learn?
Finalized position descriptions will be available by Dec. 21 on WorkCyte's ISD website. Employees exploring the specialist roles are encouraged to attend the showcase to find out more. Top administrators in human resources and finance will be available to provide information and field questions about the specialist positions in their areas.
Organizers are working to finalize the day's activities, which will include information tables and displays. Participants also will learn more about:
- The employee interest survey and an evaluation matrix -- tools that help match staff with specialist positions
- Workday functions related to specialist responsibilities
- Transition impacts
- Support services
