Open Forum: Common Human Resources System (CHRS)

January 18, 2017

CHRS is a program designed to create a single HR data management system for all of the CSU. It includes upgrading to the latest version of the PeopleSoft HR application and providing a consistent baseline of technology. In addition, the program will deliver a shared HR data warehouse that will be centrally developed and maintained, will include a core set of analytic tools (dashboards and reports), and will provide a data source for local campus data warehouses. CHRS will have many valuable benefits for the overall system and the campuses, including:

  • Access to the most current version of software available, which includes significant added new functionality;
  • Allows for more rapid deployment of new system functionality;
  • Common business practices across the campuses to provide administrative efficiencies and reduce modifications to the system;
  • Enhanced reporting and analytics at the campus and system levels;
  • Improved user experiences in the HR applications, including enabling future mobile access to HR services and improved recruiting and on-boarding capabilities;
  • Alignment with the upgrade of the Student System that must take place; and
  • Positions the CSU to consider cloud-based or other technology platforms in the future.

For more information or to ask questions about CHRS, join us for the open forum in Gist Hall RM 111 on Monday, January 23, 2:30 – 3:30.
