Written by The hiring starts with the HR Contacts in the Colleges and Departments – when they initiate an FTE (Full Time Equivalent) hire by submitting a hiring packet. It can be a complicated process with many steps.
Leadership chartered a team to streamline the hiring process and implemented some of the following improvement processes:
- Simplifying by half: The new workflow has 54 steps – compared to 104 steps (staff hire) and 119 steps (faculty) currently.
- No more circling back:Loopbacks (to get or fix needed inputs) will be nearly eliminated – from 9-10 to 2 on average.
- Moving twice as fast:The new process will go from start to finish in 4-5 days, compared to the cur- rent average of 10 days.
- Doing it right the first time:A faster process, fewer salary overrides, and fewer off-cycle paycheck requests will increase customer satisfaction.
