OHR Strategic Transformation

On May 10, Vice President Kathy Brown delivered a presentation to the Board of Regents about the strategic transformation taking place in the Office of Human Resources.

To align with its newly framed mission, to strategically lead and partner with the community to provide a diverse workforce and organizational capabilities that drive excellence in the University, the office is increasing its HR expertise and adding teams to optimize delivery of HR services.

Several initiatives are underway to redefine and simplify HR work in order to empower faculty and staff to more effectively deliver on the University’s mission.

One primary initiative with broad opportunity and impact is the upgrade of the Human Resources Management System. OHR has begun a comprehensive review of policies and business practices to prepare for the upgrade, and has launched an interdisciplinary functional steering committee to help guide this work.

New Learning Management System

In late spring/early summer 2012 the University of Minnesota will launch a new Learning Management System (LMS) that will allow for administration, tracking, and reporting of training content — both online and instructor-led.

This new learning management system is replacing the current PeopleSoft training module known as Enterprise Learning Management (ELM).
