The myURHR Employee Spotlight celebrates the many diverse faces behind the myURHR Change Network and project team as they help drive HR Modernization efforts forward through their contributions to the myURHR project.
This month, get to know two of your colleagues from Pharmacy and Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
We share their stories to recognize their hard work and to inspire the University community.
myURHR Champion
Pharmacy
As a myURHR Champion, how do you feel your myURHR role is having an impact on the University community?
My role is having a positive impact on the University community by dispersing valuable information to our department on next steps, training, and the overall rollout of myURHR.
What are you most looking forward to with the go-live of myURHR this fall?
I’m looking forward to more intuitive systems that will streamline processes and reduce the use of paper forms. Also, the reporting system in Workday is something I’m excited about and interested to see all the new reports that will be available so that we can better manage our department.
What piece of advice would you like to share with your colleagues as we get ready for myURHR?
Join as many Demo Days sessions as possible that apply to your role and be prepared to train. Take training seriously and ask questions to learn and help reduce the time it takes to adapt to the new systems, Workday and UKG, that power myURHR.
What keeps you motivated while working in an ever-changing environment?
My team keeps me motivated. We are always willing to come together and find solutions so that we are supporting our department in the most efficient and strategic ways possible.

myURHR Super User
Laboratory for Laser Energetics
As a myURHR Super User, how do you feel your myURHR role is having an impact on the University community?
We have a wide variety of employees at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics: Faculty, staff, students, and staff represented by bargaining units. I never lack for examples to bring to the table!
What is the number one workflow or task that you want to learn more about when myURHR training begins this summer?
I am looking forward to a lot. What will the hiring process look like? How will we sign up for benefits? What will the onboarding process entail? We need to make sure our new hires feel welcome.
How do you handle challenging projects or tasks OR how do you approach challenges in your position?
I try to use the “divide and conquer” approach. A large task can seem daunting; however, several smaller ones are doable. Achieving milestones along the way also provides a sense of accomplishment to the whole team.
What piece of advice would you like to share with your colleagues as we get ready for myURHR?
Pay attention! We have a big job ahead of all of us.
