Dear Colleagues,

I am writing with an update on business operations in light of COVID-19, as of today. In addition to BEARS, I have included updates from other campus partners in central services, thinking that it might be helpful to consolidate the updates and hyperlinks in one communication.  Please forgive the lengthy email.

BEARS

Since the beginning of the year, and especially over the past several weeks, the campus has seen numerous emails and resources regardingguidance from public health authorities in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and how that translates to us at Berkeley with social distancing, impacts to class delivery, workforce impacts, etc. Protecting the health and safety of members of the campus community remains the top priority and the campus is committed to preserving the academic mission.

In the next evolution to improve the way HR help is requested and managed on campus, the Berkeley Regional Services (BRS) team, collaborating with partners in Information Services & Technology (IS&T) and the Business Process Management Office (BPMO) are working on introducing a new, more modern HR ServiceNow look and feel, calling it, HR ServiceNow 2.0.

Navigating all the various hiring steps here at Berkeley for new employees can be tricky.
