myURHR: Modernized University HR System
A transformative journey to a new University HR system that is central to creating organizational excellence in HR service delivery.
Navigation Sidebar
The University of Rochester’s new strategic plan will set the course for our future, and an essential element of that plan will be the modernization of Human Resources’ systems, policies and practices.
Our transformative journey to modernizing HR and how we do business is a massive undertaking that begins with the replacement of the University’s PeopleSoft HR management system. It is this platform on which we will re-design HR services. A project of this magnitude requires collaboration with key stakeholders from across the University and the right technology that will enable HR to improve efficiencies.
myURHR—the new name and branding of our modernized HR platform that will be available in fall 2024—will leverage HR technology and be used as a business tool to support data-driven decisions; improve efficiencies with consistent, streamlined processes; optimize compliance management; and promote cross-departmental collaboration. The platform will also enable manager and employee self-service, and support other key HR strategic initiatives, such as the Career Path Modernization (CPM) project.
Together, these and other forward-thinking efforts will establish a new foundation for how the University supports the employee experience through modern, accessible services that expand organizational capacities.
