Welcome to the New HR Website!

Man and two women around a computerThis website is designed with you in mind. It serves all three University of Oklahoma campuses and has new content and features.

Your opinions are the best measure of how we're doing. Let us know what you think of our services and our new website. A feedback form and contact information is available in the footer of every page on this site.

Overall Website Design

We planned the look, feel, and content of this site to be:

  • Clean & straightforward.
  • Easily navigable.
  • Responsive to changing needs in the university.
  • Informative and accessible.
  • Organized to help you get work done.

As much as possible, we tried to imagine how users would navigate through the site and where you might hope to find certain information. Information is organized according to:

  • Services such as Benefits and Employment.
  • Roles such as Managers and HR/Payroll Coordinators.

New Audiences

This website is designed to meet the Human Resources needs on all three OU campuses. We want this website to speak to you no matter where you are located inside or outside the university.

To accomplish this, we have employed the following conventions:

  • Consistent naming:
    • The terms OU and OU Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) usually refer to the programs available in the university. Employees located in Tulsa belong to either OU or HSC programs. Your HR/Payroll Coordinator can assist you with this determination when necessary.
    • The names of the cities where campuses are located (Norman, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa) are usually used to show differences that are not directly tied to program areas such as city and campus life.
  • Clear indications of campus-specific and program-specific information.
  • Role-based grouping of information (see below).

New Role-Based Resources

You can find specific information based on your role for several different categories. This feature allows you to find relevant resources grouped together. Even when different tasks are delegated to administrative or staff assistants, the information may be grouped according to the position which is primarily responsible for its completion.

Employee Self-Service

Though Employee Self-Service is not a new feature on the Human Resources website, it is now featured prominently on the front page and side menu to be easily available to employees. Many functions can be completed from Employee Self-Service including address changes and benefits enrollment.

Documents & Forms

This site launches a new search engine for finding the forms you need. The Documents and Forms Search is always available on the top menu bar under "Documents & Forms." You can:

  • Avoid searching by form name. Search by keywords, campus, and category, instead.
  • Choose a category (i.e. Benefits) and a campus, to get a long list of forms.
  • Bookmark searches in your web browser's Favorites to return to the same search in the future.
  • Find resources and forms that are related to your desired document.

Future Features

Revisit our website often. Upcoming features could include news bulletins, a Help/FAQ database, and online enrollment for Training and Development.
