Dear colleagues,
As you may have read on Workday This Week, a significant number of student records are now available as part of the transition to Workday Student. This will change how UBC students are hired into student positions (e.g. teaching assistants, graduate research assistants, co-op students) as well as hiring practices for faculty and staff positions.

Dear colleagues,
If you are hiring—or planning to hire—a student this month, please note the upcoming freeze dates on student hiring transactions in Workday. This freeze is to support the transition to Workday Student.

Starting November 1, all UBC job postings must include the expected pay or pay range, as per BC’s Pay Transparency Act.
BC’s Pay Transparency Act was passed earlier this year, which requires all employers in BC, including UBC, to take steps toward addressing systemic discrimination in the workplace.

Dear colleagues,
We are excited to announce a new workplace learning series pilot for staff and faculty on the Okanagan campus which spans the 2023/24 academic year. These series were developed intentionally to support your professional development goals and are being offered as a way to provide on-campus opportunities for faculty and staff to utilize their professional development fund for campus-based programming. The fall series will be focused on resilience and respect, aligned with Thrive. The winter series will be focused on performance and growth.

Some of you and your team members may notice an influx in Workday notifications for required training over the past few days for courses such as Privacy & Information Security and Workplace Violence Prevention. If you are a staff and student-staff, manager or supervisor, you will receive notifications if you have not previously completed the training or if the training was not recorded in Workday. For anyone who completed training in the past, newer versions of required training may now be available and are required to be completed.
