1. Ufirst Update: Fiscal Administrators Meeting
January 24, 2018

2. Ufirst What is Ufirst?
The Ufirst project has been charged with transforming the Human Resource function at UVA, bringing together HR operations from the Academic Division and Health System to deliver better HR services to all members of our university community. Enabling you and your teams to better focus on your core mission by
Saving time, energy with simplified HR processes
Automating processes with an easy-to-use HR technology
Supporting the attraction and retention of top talent .
Level setting- what is the project and why are we doing it?
A model informed by experts and customers:
200+ experts and other participants engaged
125+ stakeholder group working sessions
Monthly meetings with key stakeholder groups
Ufirst is the project- after 2018, the name and group will sunset. The new, unified HR organization will be called UVA Human Resources.
We believe wholeheartedly in the value the new HR can deliver, and envision a world in which you have more strategic support and helpful tools to deal with HR and people needs, and thus, more TIME to focus on your respective missions.

3. Ufirst How will I interact with HR?
Integrated model delivers expertise and agility
Integrating local and core services offers a 200+ person strong network with deep HR expertise and the ability to scale to meet demand during peak periods.
Aligned HR Support in the following areas:
Business Partners
Employee Relations
Staff Recruitment
You’ll have access to specialists who are focused on various HR disciplines, allowing them to operate more efficiently, and deliver services faster.
You’ll still have aligned resources assigned to the EVP-COO area for high-volume needs, so you’ll always know who to go to, and they’ll understand how best to service your unique needs.
What do we mean when we say aligned?
You will have consistent resources in these areas- deal with the same person
These resources will report to HR (not locally)
These resources will, in most cases, support other customers as well
Business Partners- provide strategic support around things like workforce planning, and also help ensure that you get the HR services you need, holding the network of core specialists accountable for meeting service goals.
Employee Relations- in the new model, you will have one Employee Relations contact, so you always know who to contact. Your Business Partner can also serve as an employee relations resource.
Recruitment- we understand that the talent needs in this area may be unique and specialized, which is why we’ll provide consistent recruiting support so they can learn and understand your needs, and identify, engage, and hire the best talent available.

4. Ufirst What can I expect?
Easier technology to manage my personal information and benefits (mobile enabled)
Questions can be answered quickly through phone, or chat by the HR Solution Center which includes specialists in payroll, benefits, and leave
HR Solution Center
Easier and Faster
There are easier and faster ways to do the following in Workday:
Workday replaces and
Time and absence
Pay slips and W2s
Benefits
Technology
Technology is a key enabler of the new HR model
The HR Solution Center will not only offer a one-stop shop for questions about benefits, leave and payroll, they will also execute some of the more transactional HR work that was previously done by generalists.
Performance Management- we know this is an area of great interest- while details on the performance management model are still being aligned, know that is going away, and the Workday interface will offer many new features that will improve performance management at UVA- for example, you can log in at any time to log notes about performance for follow up in the near or far term.
We discussed recruitment already, but again, the highlight there is that we’ll have consistent support for each area.
There will be processes and staff in the HR Solution Center in place to streamline pre-boarding activities (background checks, immigration, etc.) and onboarding. The goal is to provide not only better service to staff, but also provide an improved experience for our new hires and ensure a strong start to their careers at UVA.
There will be opportunities for delegation for manager tasks – the details of who can delegate, when, and to whom are still being determined.
