As you will all be aware there have been some substantial changes to the Admin Team over the last few weeks. We said farewell to Lucy Horsnett and then Katie Tyler and welcomed Anita Kalsi and Karen Snell to the team. The one consistency has been our awesome Receptionist, Jane Adams.
Changes to the role and function of the team
As well as a change in personnel, we have also made some changes to the role and function of the team. Moving forward, the team will no longer be referred to as HR/Admin – instead they will simply be known as IT Services Admin.
Between now and February, the date when New Core is anticipated to go live, the Admin team will support the following tasks:
AV1s
New starters – induction packs
Absence monitoring
Annual leave forms
Associates
Training and expenses
Stationary and furniture orders
Purchase orders
Building fobs
Maintenance calls
This is not an exhaustive list and the team will continue to pick up other ad-hoc tasks as and when required.
If you have any queries regarding any of these tasks please contact either Karen or Anita.
Absence reporting and HR queries
Any absence from work due to illness will still need to be reported as normal through the IT Services Sick Line on 0121 414 8985.
If you have any HR related queries including recruitment issues then you will need to contact Central HR through the HR Portal.
For more complex or personal issues contact Hannah Hogben, our Central HR Advisor on 0121 414 7562.
Hannah Hogben and Bryoney Johnson from New Core will be running HR awareness sessions in November which all line managers will be required to attend. In these sessions you will receive advice on the best way to contact HR during the transition period. Bryoney will be advising staff on the New Core self-service HR/Finance service which will be in place post February. You can contact Bryoney on 0121 414 2092 if you have any questions.
