Do you know what’s new on the HRMS for Employees who enter their time?

Ability to enter time on and off campus – With HRMS, you will no longer need to be on campus or connected to the campus network in order to enter your time. Now, you will be able to manage your time entry remotely and view approval status in real time.

Don’t know what the 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.

Do you know what’s new on the HRMS for Managers?

Compensation information of their direct reports – That’s right! With the HRMS, managers will be able to view compensation information of their direct reports through the My Team work area. You will no longer need to wait on HR to get information on your employee’s compensation history or have to submit an HRIN to award compensation using a one-time payment.

In one of our previous communiqué, we provided you with an overview of what you can expect from the new HRMS from the managers perspective Manager Direct Access (MDA). Take a look at the video and become familiar with the MDA springboard.

We are very excited to share that Community Outreach & Workforce Development (COWD) and the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE) has partnered to launch a new pilot program, Launch Me Community Transition Program (LCTP), at Lakeshore Campus this summer.

The LCTP is designed for those who may or may not have completed high school and are interested in pathways to postsecondary, specifically around upstreaming skills related to business and entrepreneurship. Participants will earn a Certificate of Participation from Humber’s Centre for Entrepreneurship and will have an individualized pathway plan for next steps after completing the program. Interested participants will also have the chance to pitch their ideas to receive start-up or research & development dollars (up to $500) for their small business concept. This program will incorporate 1-1 advising, mentorship and skills development, and will run for one day per week over five weeks.

Ideal participants are young adults between the ages of 19-29, however those over 30 can also apply. This is the first time that Humber’s Centre for Entrepreneurship’s “Launch Me” programming will be available to residents in Humber’s local communities as a specialized offering. This program will complement Humber’s successful Youth Transition Program model and will offer an alternate pathway opportunity. This is a great capacity and resume building opportunity for young adults who are budding entrepreneurs, who are looking to take their skills to the next level, and pursue further education. 

There are 20 spots available for the pilot. All sessions will take place at Humber’s Lakeshore Campus. Applications will be reviewed on a first come basis. To learn more please go to humber.ca/cfe/programs/launch-me-community-transition-program.

This initiative aligns with Pillar 2, Accessible Education of Humber’s 2018-23 Strategic Plan:

  • Develop a unique mix of credential and non-credential programs that meet the needs of our students, communities and the labour market.
  • Develop personalized and adaptive learning experiences that facilitate student success and engagement.

Questions about eligibility, intake, content, program outcomes and assessment can be directed to Nivedita Lane, Manager, Community & Partnership Development, Community Outreach & Workforce Development (COWD), at nivedita.lane@humber.ca.

Questions about the Launch Me Program workshops, the pitch process, and other enquiries about the Centre for Entrepreneurship can be directed to Raeshelle Morris, Manager, Centre for Entrepreneurship, at raeshelle.morris@humber.ca.

This initiative is supported by many internal Humber contributors, including the Faculty of Liberal Arts, the Humber College Community Partnership Fund and community partners including LAMP.

Humber faculty and textbook decision makers,

Summer will soon be upon us and the staff at both the North and Lakeshore Campus Stores would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we are currently accepting book orders for the Fall 2019 semester. We respectfully request that you submit your requests as soon as possible. Receiving your list of required course materials allows us to source all available options (new, used, print, digital, etc.) for incoming students, as well as provide the optimum value to students who are selling books. Timely submission of requests ensures that we have plenty of time to source and order all of your materials before the start of Fall classes.

Over the past decade publishers have implemented a wide variety of delivery options for their course materials. Each version has its own unique ISBN as an identifier. The Campus Store has the ability to provide all options for the majority of materials requested

  • Print textbooks (hardcover, soft cover and loose leaf)
  • Custom textbooks (reduced chapters or combination of multiple texts into a single volume)
  • Bundles – two or more print components, or a print version with a code to access online content. Please let us know if the online content is required for your course or simply recommended. This will assist us in providing more price options for your students.
  • Digital – PDF or Adaptive Learning version (i.e. MyLab, Connect, Wiley Plus, etc.)

To submit your list of course materials you may use our Online Adoption tool:

Scroll to the bottom of either homepage and from under the heading Faculty Services, select Online Adoptions. You will be asked to login or register. For first time users, the generic password is 0947 for North, and for 0948 for Lakeshore. If you have questions as to what learning materials were required for this course/semester in the past, either store this information available upon request.

Please let us know if we can assist you in any way. We are here to answer your questions and will gladly walk you through the online adoption process should you require assistance. We look forward to receiving your list of Fall course materials.

Do you know what’s new on the HRMS for Employees?

Ability to directly update your banking information – That’s right! With the HRMS, employees will be able to update their banking information directly through the system. You will no longer have to submit an HRIN to HR for them to update this information for you.

Not exciting enough for you? Let us then introduce a net new feature with the HRMS, the ability to deposit percentages of your salary in more than one bank account! You will no longer have to transfer money between your bank accounts after you get paid, as with HRMS, you can assign funds to automatically transfer to different bank accounts, as a percentage of your total pay.

Keep a lookout for our upcoming Communiqué announcements where we will be sharing more details with you regarding new functionalities within the HRMS, upcoming events, important dates and training sessions.

After a lengthy and rigorous competitive tender process, Facilities Management is pleased to announce Best Service Pros will be taking over the role of managing our cleaning contract from Sodexo at both North and Lakeshore campuses, as of July 13, 2019.

During the process, Facilities Management took the opportunity to significantly tighten up the specifications, including adding additional labour in strategic areas including weekends and event setups. In keeping with Humber’s commitment to operational stewardship and service excellence we have built performance indicators for quality control and cleanliness into the new contract, with a focus on quality assurance audits and satisfaction surveys to drive continuous improvement.

Provincial legislation under Bill 7 means that all cleaners and staff currently cleaning Humber must be offered a position under the new vendor, so you will not see many new faces.

We are working hard to make the transition as smooth as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Spencer Wood, Director Facilities Maintenance, at x5242 or Daniel Alonzo, Associate Director Facilities Management, at x4415.

Hello,

We are excited to share with you that Humber’s Panopto Platform has just been upgraded to its latest release (7.0). We’ve highlighted some exciting and relevant features for you – which are now available for you to use.

What’s New

  • New Mobile Video Player
    Panopto’s redesigned mobile video player enhances support for learners who are on-the-go. Learners may now, from their phone: navigate the video’s table of contents, search within a video, take notes, partake in discussion, and rate the video.
  • Fill-in-the-blanks Quizzes (and more)
    Creators now have the ability to add a “fill in the blank” type of question within their video quizzes. Creators can also see combined results from all quizzes within a single video.
  • Download Notes & Discussion Threads
    Students can now export a copy of their notes, along with the time they took them within the video. Creators now have the ability to export the discussion thread within their video.
  • Improved Mashup Tool within Blackboard
    The Panopto Mashup tool within Blackboard just got better. Creators can now search across all videos within the Mashup tool – which means – less time scrolling, more time embedding!
  • Panopto for Mac Improvements
    Beta Feature: The Panopto for Mac recording tool now captures your computer’s audio (in addition to your video and voice).

Panopto News

A special thank you goes out to each and every one of our 950+ users. More than 1,350 videos have been uploaded to the platform.

Training

We will be scheduling a new round of workshops throughout Fall 2019 - keep an eye out on the Communiqué for updates. Individualized training is available to all faculty and employees over the summer.

If you have any questions about Panopto at Humber, or have any feedback or success stories, feel free to reach out to Humber’s Panopto Support Team, who will be happy to assist.

Sincerely,


Your friendly Panopto administrators
Darren Richards & Lisa DiBarbora
