A new computer program is allowing Human Resource Services to begin work on a new faculty and staff telephone directory. The program should be fully implemented by the end of fiscal year 2001.
Difficulties arise when old work processes are applied to the new system.
Stephens said implementation of Banner HR has been a slow process. There is no unit solely devoted to working on Banner HR and instructing employees in the use of it. The distributed system can meet needs more quickly and be more accurate than the legacy processes of the past, Stephens said. The first EPAFs are expected to be available by the end of the calendar year, Stephens said. The change to Banner HR allows Human Resource Services to publish a new faculty and staff telephone directory, hopefully by the end of September, Stephens said.
