Notice of Project – Summer 2019 North and Lakeshore Campus Accessibility Audit Project

The Herrington Group Ltd will be on site at Humber College from early June until August 2019 performing accessibility audits on behalf of the Department of Capital Development and Facilities Management.

You may see the Herrington team out working in all college areas, measuring many things, and collecting data in both interior and exterior campus areas. Please allow them access to perform their work when they arrive in your area. It will not take them long and the work they are doing is minimally disruptive. Due to the scale and scope of this audit project we are unable to predict when they will arrive at your building.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this audit in general or the audit team’s request to access to your area, please do not hesitate to contact the CDFM Accessibility Audit Project team directly:

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Don’t know what HRMS is?

The Human Resource Management System (HRMS), is a new Human Capital Management fully integrated, cloud based system that will replace Humber's existing legacy system. The new HRMS will serve as a central source of information for all HR related processes and programs, making it accessible to staff, faculty and other stakeholders through their computer, on or off campus.

Once deployed, the new HRMS provides access to core HR functions, based on your profile as a manager or an employee. Some functionality includes:

  • Entering and tracking attendance
  • Benefits enrollment
  • Entering and approving time
  • Talent management (Which includes Recruitment)
  • And much more!

This would allow HR to:

  • Become Better business partners to faculties and departments
  • Deliver real-time data & information that will improve decision-making
  • Have enhanced reporting capability
  • Streamline processes to enable faster transactions

For managers and employees, the direct access functionality will become the new way of interacting with HR giving you the flexibility, autonomy and a sense of ownership for a better overall manager and employee experience.

As we get ready to ‘Go Live’ all impacted stakeholders will be receiving training information to ensure that the transition to the new HRMS is easy and seamless.
