WHAT IS THE STAFF ENGAGEMENT PLAN?
The Staff Engagement plan has been put in place to prepare Building Operations staff for when UBC goes live with Workday and Planon. Everyone at Building Operations will be using Workday for tasks like:
- requesting vacation
- checking vacation and sick time balances
- checking paystubs
- submitting expenses
Planon is UBC’s maintenance, asset, and inventory management software. Many Building Operations staff members will use Planon on a daily basis for:
- completing service requests
- updating asset information
- ordering parts
As we get closer to Workday launch in November 2020, all Building Operations staff will be trained in Workday and Planon. By completing the following goals, we will be able get ready for training, including on-line shifts that may occur given our current situation. We will also complete required online UBC training so when we all get back to campus, we can focus on the work we do to support the UBC community.
Tech Basics Goals:
Goal 1: Send an email to your manager from your UBC personal email (confirms staff know CWL and password and have set up multi-factor authentication)
Goal 2: Sign in to Canvas Learning Management System (staff can be enrolled in Canvas courses, including mandatory safety training, more info below)
Goal 3: Sign up for LinkedIn Learning, and complete Learning Zoom by Garrick Chow (staff can join on-line Workday and Planon sessions)
Training Goals:
Goal 4: Complete SRS Mandatory Training (staff need to complete mandatory training)
Goal 5: Complete Driver Training (mandatory requirement for all drivers)
Goal 6: Complete Electrical Safety Training for Non-Electrical Worker (mandatory for some, useful information for all staff)
About Goal 2: Signing up for Canvas
Canvas is UBC’s Learning Management System. This is a new platform which holds all of UBC’s mandatory and elective courses. When you complete training on Canvas, it is tracked for you.
Canvas will be integrated with Workday so that all your UBC training, including safety training, is tracked in one place. You will be able to check yourself to ensure that all your training is up to date.
All UBC staff members must log into Canvas at least once so that training administrators can add you to courses in future.
Go to https://login.cpe.ubc.ca/ and Login with your CWL and password (full instructions included in the how to guide provided by your Head/Manager)
