HRDI Begins Effort to Implement Common Human Resources System

Cal State Fullerton has been selected by the Chancellor’s Office to implement the Common Human Resources System (CHRS).  HRDI has partnered with IT to begin the work effort to launch CHRS, which is scheduled to go live in late 2021. CHRS will consolidate Human Resource systems and data throughout the entire CSU.  Instead of 23 campuses and the Chancellor’s Office using a variety of HR systems and databases, we will all use a single, common system and database with standardized data and business processes.

It is a privilege to have been chosen, along with Stanislaus State, as one of the first two campuses to lead the long-anticipated CHRS project to fruition! Please visit the CHRS website for details, a timeline, FAQ’s, and a message from the project’s sponsors.
