CHRS


The Common Human Resources System (CHRS) is a major initiative within the ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú (CSU) system that is designed to unify all 23 campuses under a single, integrated HR platform. CHRS enables streamlined HR processes and ensures consistent, efficient management of HR data and services across the CSU.

At CSUDH, CHRS is transforming how we manage human resources by integrating HR, benefits, payroll, temporary academic employment and more into a single platform. This system provides enhanced functionality, improved data security, and a more user-friendly experience for employees and administrators alike.

WHY CHRS?

  • Standardization: CHRS creates a uniform HR experience across all CSU campuses, ensuring consistent practices and reporting.
  • Efficiency: The system consolidates multiple HR functions into one platform, reducing redundancy and manual processes.
  • Security: CHRS increases data security by maintaining strict privacy protocols and centralizing data management.
  • Transparency: Employees will have improved access to HR services and information, making it easier to manage personal and employment data.

  4. Delivers improved user experience in HR applications, including future mobile access to HR services
  5. Provides enhanced reporting with standardized data to assist decision-making
  6. Allows new software to be deployed and adopted more rapidly
  7. Relieves the training burden from campuses by delivering systemwide training materials 
  8. Positions the CSU to consider cloud-based technologies in the future
  9. Allows sharing of HR personnel between campuses
  10. ​Centralized management allows campus technical resources to be reallocated to other tasks

CHRS AT CSUDH

CSUDH is proud to be a part of this CSU-wide initiative that offers substantial improvements to HR services. The CHRS implementation at CSUDH means:

  • A more intuitive interface for HR-related tasks.
  • Access to real-time data for informed decision-making.
  • Streamlined processes for employees and management.

How will this impact me?

CHRS will impact Human Resources processes and procedures for staff and faculty. The system manages data such as budgeted positions, employment, job, and personal data. Enhancing the system will change aspects of self-service, time and absence management, recruitment, benefits, temporary academic employment, and more.
