myHR Readiness

In future, myHR, a modern, cloud-based HR and payroll system using Oracle Fusion, will be introduced. It will replace several systems that currently support our HR activity, including those listed below. The introduction of myHR was postponed in January 2025 and a collection of work called myHR Readiness is underway to bring improvements to users in the meantime and to ensure we are ready to restart work on myHR as early as possible. You can read more at myHR Readiness.
