With a continued focus on efficiency and accurate communication, the Division of Human Resources has adopted process mapping to better serve the UNM community. A process map is a diagram that shows the tasks required to complete a procedure.
Several sets of process maps are available, including UNMJobs hiring procedures for posting a position, screening, and hiring students, faculty and staff. Process maps provide all the necessary instructions, forms and templates in an easy to follow format.
HR has adopted a process management approach using inProcess software. inProcess combines the visual representation of complex processes with the ability to drill down for references to procedures, additional details and specific forms in a single, Web-accessible location. One way to improve any business practice is to map the process from start to finish. The primary goal of using inProcess is to improve and document key functions of HR’s business practices while illustrating how these procedures relate to other core areas on campus.
Ultimately, process mapping accomplishes two basic objectives: it promotes understanding and consensus across different areas involved in a process, and it serves as a consistent, reliable method of documentation. With inProcess, UNM employees have a wealth of information in a single location.
Non-Standard Payments, Biweekly and Monthly Time Entry, and UNMTemps for competitive or noncompetitive placements of temporary employees are just a few of the process maps available via inProcess. Additional process maps will be developed to bring greater transparency to everyday functions involving HR. View inProcess maps at hr.unm.edu.
