HigherEd has been slow to embrace digitization: institutions still manage administrative processes and reporting manually. PeopleAdmin solutions transform burdensome processes into strategic assets using a robust, integrated, and interoperable ecosystem built for HigherEd.
Applicant Tracking System streamlines processes and reduces time spent posting job openings, screening applicants, and processing applications while providing complete HR oversight. Our flexible, configurable system supports complex, multi-department structures specific to HigherEd.
Position Management is an intelligent classification system that allows any HR professional to effortlessly maintain a compliant single source of truth for position descriptions, classifications, and organizational structure. Editable descriptions meet the unique needs of each position type.
Employee Records enables cross-campus checklists for onboarding and offboarding plus paper-free, mobile friendly form and contract management. Hiring managers and supervisors can monitor onboarding and reduce bottlenecks for new employees.
Performance Management automates reviews and employee development. Data-driven dashboards using the 9-box model help institutions derive insight to make informed decisions. HR can monitor status and flag potential bias in reviews, while departments can design programs that meet their specific goals.
Professional Development and Learning personalizes learning, simplifies professional development tracking, drives engagement, and makes learning social through communities and forums.
Faculty Information System decreases administrative burden on faculty with a centralized hub for teaching, research, publishing, service, and more, while streamlining the promotion and tenure process. Real-time connections with online databases like ORCID keep current and previous work in sync automatically.
The faculty ecosystem includes Teaching Assignment Management System (TAMS), which revolutionizes the complex, manual teaching assignment process. Optimized assignments are simple: faculty can easily submit course preferences, while administrators can determine the most qualified instructors with clear views of preference, capacity, and workload conflicts.
Faculty can also leverage Course Evaluations, which enables detailed, qualitative curriculum feedback. Frequent surveys enable faculty to better support students, while there’s still time to change outcomes.
All solutions are connected by Unified Insights, which offers real-time visibility and actionable insights encompassing data from every corner of campus, empowering strategic decision-making and helping teams stay compliant and audit-ready.
