Horizon 1 Initiatives

As part of Horizon 1, five key initiatives will bring CU Boulder HR into the future.  

  1. HR Strategy
  2. HR Structure & Governance
  3. HR Process & Standards
  4. HR Culture
  5. HR Technology

Three of these initiatives have working groups that are recruiting for members: HR Processes & Standards, HR Culture, and HR Technology. Read more about each one below.

Working Groups

Group 1: Process & Standards

Today, our HR processes and services tend to be highly manual and inconsistent which hinders our ability to satisfy our customers and can create an inequitable employee experience. To bring consistency to our processes and services, the Process & Standards Working Group will: 

  • Define and implement standards for key HR processes—hire, maintain, separate—for all employee types.  
  • Define and communicate Service Level Expectations (SLE) and SLE reporting for HR customers.

Group 2: Culture

Today, due to the variability in processes and services in HR, there is a lack of clarity about what HR does and does not do across campus. The Culture Working Group will: 

  • Define the CU Boulder HR value proposition to create clarity around what HR does and does not do. 
  • Create a refreshed HR identity, by campus brand standards, to help clarify the role of HR on campus and support a shared HR culture. 

Group 3: Technology

Today, there is a lack of coordination and integration in our HR technology systems. The Technology Working Group will: 

  • Document current CU Boulder HR systems and data flow.  
  • Draft a technology roadmap for systems and resources to support the CU Boulder HR vision.
