What we are about:
The Insight Human Resource team goal is to improve and expand the way we extract and report Human Resource data in an accurate, consistent, and reliable manner utilizing the latest technology. When possible, we are redeveloping our systems onto a PC and web-based environment allowing more efficient data accessibility. Some of the employee information that we typically provide include: status, gender, ethnicity, and campus locations. In addition, faculty counts are available by rank, tenure, and age. The current team accomplishments and future plans will allow us to meet user requests for employee data in a more improved, proficient manner. More about our office
What we have done:
Human Resources SQL Database: Implemented a new database design using SQL to increase data and report availability while decreasing processing time.

Integrating PCT Data: Pennsylvania College of Technology data was previously added to our reports manually. We eliminated this process and now work with the college to obtain a data file that is congruent with our databases.

Human Resources Data Reporting: To increase speed and convenience, we developed backup book, data package, and semi-annual headcount reports in MS Access and SQL instead of reporting from the mainframe.

Factbook Reports: 24 factbook reports were developed into web pages that are generated from stored procedures that run against the current SQL database.

Full-Time Employee EIS Model: Created a Human Resources EIS model to allow various pulls from a September generated file of full-time employee data.

IPEDS Web-Based Data Submission: Generated files to upload to IPEDS via their web site.
What we are doing:
Full-Time Faculty and Academic Administrator EIS Model: Creating a Human Resources EIS model to allow various pulls from a September generated file of full-time faculty and academic administrators.

Reengineer the Human Resources Create Process: Analyzing and restructuring processes to create the official Human Resource data in a more efficient and timely manner.

FAA: Analyzing a more efficient process of gathering information through IBIS for the Faculty Activity system.

AAUP and AAUDE Web-Based Data: Collecting and submitting AAUP and AAUDE data via the web.

Elimination of Old Payroll Master File: Analyzing the use of the old payroll master file, so that our systems are modified to use IBIS elements instead.
What we plan to do:
Data Package/Factbook Enhancements: Move currently produced paper reports into a secure web-based system.

FAA: Create a design to use the web to collect information for faculty activity reporting. We will need to look into using OAS software and security (ELION).

Minority Data Collection: Update Minority data collection and reporting based on Government specifications.

Preliminary Humors Process: Develop a procedure to identify and correct data imperfections prior to the official file create process.
