The Human Resources Management System (HRMS) will be receiving some exciting updates on August 3, for the existing employee's Benefits and Absence work areas, new employee’s Benefits work area, and for the manager's Absence work area, which will provide everyone with an enhanced user experience through a unified interface. This enhancement will replace some of the existing Classic User Interface with a New Responsive User Interface within the HRMS.
What is a Responsive User Interface?
A Responsive User Interface, refers to a system design, which uses flexible layouts and components for a web page to detect the end user’s screen size and orientation then adjusts the layout of the page for improved user experience. This is also refered to as a Responsive User Experience.
With the Responsive User Experience, you will be able to view your HR information (for example, Benefits and Absence related information) anytime, anywhere, and through a more extensive array of devices, including your mobile device's web browser.
Please note, we recommend that you continue to use a desktop or a laptop computer to perform actions within the HRMS. Work areas on mobile devices are currently under development and may lead to errors and further rework.
What does this mean for our employees and managers?
It means that the employee and manager experience of how they use the HRMS today will change and they will need to refer to the updated HRMS Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) in order to successfully navigate through the updated work areas.
What are the high level changes?
Employees and managers will notice new navigational steps, a new look and feel and some new features within the HRMS.
How will employees and managers receive training to prepare for this change?
On-demand training materials are now available through the HRMS KB. Please use the links below to refer to the updated work area Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) that outline the upcoming NUX navigational steps.
In addition to the new navigational steps in the KBAs, we have also introduced new interactive decks for the updated work areas. These interactive decks will provide you with an opportunity to walk-through the updated interface and familiarize yourself with the upcoming changes prior to the August 3 Go-Live.
If you have any questions or require additional support for the upcoming changes, please contact the HR Support Centre.
