PeopleSoft Talent Management
PeopleSoft Talent Management Suite – Project has begun, an implementation partner will be selected from the ITD Vendor pool. The project will run between 36 weeks with a target go live of Late Spring 2012. The following functionality will be implemented in the project.
ePerformance
The new PS 9.1 ePerformance module will now enable strategic goals and objectives to be driven downward in the organization. The Business Objectives Chart is a new interactive graphical tool that allows higher level objectives to be cascaded downward through the organization. This new capability should make agency directors very happy, their department managers happier, and their employees will gain insight of how the agency’s goals relate to them and their performance.

- Display Objectives in an Organization Chart View
- Link Individual Goals to Business Objectives
- Simplified ePerformance Document Creation Processes
- Electronic Document Sign-off

eDevelopment
Profiles can be created for employees through self service, manager self service or administrator access. Profiles include such information as: Competencies, skills, certifications, licenses (and their expiration dates), education, professional memberships, project participation, and any other item the State wishes to track.
Career and Succession Planning
Planning careers enables you to retain and motivate employees by providing structure for development activities focused on advancement. Succession planning is the process of identifying the long range needs and cultivating a supply of internal talent pools to meet those needs.
Agency involvement
Agency involvement is being solicited. The level of involvement is estimated to be up to four hours a week for the duration of the project. Primary duties as the Agency Lead would be to act as the point of contact to disseminate information to the agency about the Talent Management Project and represent the agency's needs for configuration and requirements.
Design has been completed and development is under way.

Enterprise Learning Management (ELM)
ELM is an internet-based training management solution that allows agencies to manage their learning information in a central location. Users can sign up for classes in three ways: through employee self service which automatically routes to supervisors for approval, through manager self service where managers are able to enroll employees or by someone else the manager has identified as a learning administrator to enroll learners. Agencies have the ability to upload online, web-based, and instructor-led training and information.
ELM is active and has offered 5,000 different classes (statewide) to state employees in the last 2 years.

User Productivity Kit (UPK)
UPK is a simple tool used to record the navigation of a PeopleSoft or non-PeopleSoft application. The business process of using the tool is: an agency lead works in a PeopleSoft application or other application, clicks the record button, and UPK records what they are doing. This is called creating content. Those clicks, navigation, and things being filled out are recorded as a job aid for the transaction once they are published to the system.
A person that is learning a PeopleSoft application can then click on the help icon and UPK is there to show them what to do to complete the task by replaying the recorded content, such as (Enter employee ID here), (Enter invoice number here), etc. This tool also has the capacity to record audio to supplement training and task completion. We are using UPK within the ELM project to develop training materials for deployment, and it shortens the overall implementation time of the ELM project.
This tool is being used at this time. The UPK user group meets on a monthly basis.
