The HR Team is working to serve you better with TalentEd Records!
In recent years, we’ve rolled out some processes through TalentEd Records (such as the employee handbook, salary notifications, employee onboarding and teacher contracts, to name a few) and have received positive feedback regarding employee satisfaction with those processes. As a result, we’ve been hard at work developing plans to mobilize other processes in an effort to make them more efficient for you. In the months ahead, you’ll begin to see communication and training videos demonstrating all the ways TalentEd Records can be used to assist you. Some initial examples include:
- Salary Adjustment Requests + Approval Status
- Employment Verifications + Completion Status
- Employee Personnel File Review Requests
- Employee Contracts or Salary Agreement Forms
- Resignations and OffBoarding
