The CHRS Project Team recently asked you to complete a CHRS Readiness Assessment and received an abundance of feedback - thank you! Your feedback is incredibly valuable and I hope to address some of it in this email.
More information can be found on the
CHRS @ SJSU webpage including a robust
FAQs page that may answer some of your questions. You can also email
chrs@sjsu.edu with any questions or concerns.
First and foremost, what is CHRS and why are we doing it?
CHRS stands for Common Human Resources System. This is a new PeopleSoft Human Resources database that all CSU campuses will begin using over the next few years. SJSU is an early adopter and will begin using it in July 2022. Instead of each CSU campus having their own PeopleSoft HR database (currently known as SJSU @ Work on our campus), this will be one database used by the entire CSU system.
There are several benefits to moving to a consolidated system such as consistent processing and reporting on every campus, reduction in dollars spent on database hardware and maintenance, improved processes for many functions, and a decrease in the amount of time it takes for the entire CSU system to upgrade and implement new functionality.
