Introducing Our New Website
UW Human Resources launched its new website on July 25! The site reflects UW branding and complements the look of the main UW site while presenting a uniquely HR flavor. Moreover, it offers greater ease of use through its visually engaging format, a site-wide top-down navigation with popular HR topics, an A-Z index, an improved information architecture within each HR unit’s site, and high functionality across mobile and other devices. POD has a new home within the HR site (http://hr.uw.edu/pod/), with major improvements throughout.
Highlights of POD’s new site include:
- New home page. POD’s core programs and services are now reflected in graphic, easily understandable “cards” on our main site. Once you’ve navigated deeper into the site, a complete menu is revealed, providing another avenue for finding the information you seek.
- Competencies. POD revisited and expanded its guide to workplace competencies, clustering competencies in five areas of excellence (individual, interpersonal, operational, leadership, and organizational); revising competencies to align across programs and services as well as with institutional priorities like the Race & Equity Initiative; and mapping each competency not just to regularly offered courses but to webinars, other POD training programs, consulting services, and assessments.
- Organizational excellence and development. Our vast array of consulting services and related organizational development resources are now housed here and categorized by tools and services for individuals, teams, and organizations.
- Succession planning. New content includes this succession planning toolkit to help leaders identify critical positions within your organization and develop action plans for individuals to assume those positions.
- Consultants. The new site offers a slick interface for viewing our internal and external consultants, including the ability to filter by area of expertise.
