43
HR Forum Financial Certification Program Overview September 9, 2009
44
The Financial Certification Program Immediate objectives –Clarify expectations for employees with financial responsibilities –Provide clearer career path opportunities for employees –Differentiate internal applicants for vacant positions
45
The Financial Certification Program Immediate objectives –Clarify expectations for employees with financial responsibilities –Provide clearer career path opportunities for employees –Differentiate internal applicants for vacant positions Anticipated outcomes… –Enhanced retention of highly-skilled and motivated employees –More effective internal hires/ promotions –Creation of a community of internal peers for formal/ informal networking –Strengthening of Duke’s internal control environment (fewer errors!)
46
The Financial Certification Program Phase 1: –Certified Financial Systems Specialists (SAP, Excel, etc…) –Certified Payroll Representatives –Went live in April 2009 –To date, have certified over 66 Financial Systems Specialist and 51 Payroll Representatives. Phase 2: –Certified Procure-to-Pay Specialists –Certified Financial Managers –Expected go-live in Spring of 2010.
47
The Financial Certification Program Certification for Financial Managers –Designed for business manager level employees –Two tracts – basic sciences and research/clinical –Cohort approach for a core group of classes will provide interaction and lay foundation for networking among business managers –Maintaining certification will require attending an annual “CPE”-type class to stay current on relevant and important topics.
48
The Financial Certification Program Partnering with Human Resources –The FCP will promote “core competencies” (knowledge, skills, abilities) required for success in job positions targeted by the certifications. –In the long-term, the FCP (and training for other non-financial positions of the University) will be part of a comprehensive HR system that will be competency based and utilized in performing functions such as recruiting, interviewing, professional and career development for Duke employees, and identification of departments/areas where core competencies gaps/deficiencies exist. –An LMS module integrated with SAP will probably be a required foundation to get to this level of full functionality.
49
The Financial Certification Program Next Steps for Certified Financial Manager Program –Currently meeting with administrators within the management centers for the Provost, School of Medicine, and Central Administration to identify key competencies. What makes a great business manager? –Will meet with small focus groups of business managers to get their input once a preliminary list of core competencies is formulated. –Good managerial skills require HR-based soft skills as well as financial- based skills. –Stakeholders Group, including James McPherson, is meeting every other week to finalize on curriculum and develop content that will be appropriate for business managers. –Anticipated go-live for program will be in the Spring of 2010.
