Updates from OSU Office of Human Resources – Onboarding and Applications

Onboarding Survey Distributed to New Employees

This week, the Office of Human Resources and University Staff Advisory Committee distributed a survey to staff members who were hired in the past 90 days in regular status 75% FTE or greater, non-bargaining unit positions. This data will initially support the development of new onboarding initiatives, as part of HR Service Delivery – the multiyear initiative to improve the ease, consistency and effectiveness of HR at Ohio State. OHR and USAC will continue surveying new employees to capture important trends related to the onboarding experience at Ohio State.

What you need to do:

  • Inform supervisors and hiring managers in your college and business unit, in case they are asked questions about the survey from staff.

  History of Convictions Questions to be Removed from Ohio State Applications

Changes in Ohio law necessitate the removal of any questions related to applicants’ history of convictions from all Ohio State employment applications by March 11, 2016, including student employment applications, intermittent positions, large recruitment events, faculty positions and third-party application systems. Questions about convictions history will be removed from PeopleAdmin (campus) and PeopleSoft (Wexner Medical Center) systems on or near March 6. After that date, system users will no longer be able to see any convictions-related information on applications, including former postings and currently posted positions.

What you need to do:

  • Review all of the application tools and systems used by your college or business unit and remove any questions related to an applicant’s history of convictions by March 11, 2016.
  • Review frequently asked questions about this change on the HR website.
