Earlier SJSU @ Work Issues Resolved

Earlier this morning we learned that some functionality in SJSU @ Work (PeopleSoft HR) was not working properly. We discovered this was due to an overnight process that did not run to success. The process has been rerun and things are now working as expected.

CSU’s Got Talent Online Webcast Training: Stick With It – A Scientifically Proven Process for Changing Your Life – Wednesday, January 25

Don’t miss this special training, as Dr. Sean Young, best-selling author and behavior expert, presents “Stick With It – A Scientifically Proven Process for Changing Your Life – For Good” on Wednesday, January 25 from 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. PT.

Whether it’s absent-minded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smartphone addiction, or a lack of exercise, we all have a bad habit or behavior that we’d like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it—and sticking with it—are two very different things. In this session, Dr. Young discusses the science of behavior change and provides practical advice about how to make real, lasting changes in your life.

CSU’s Got Talent Online Webcast Training: The New Future of Work: Building It, Not Waiting for It – Wednesday, November 16

Join us as guest expert Dr. Jenna Butler, Applied Research Scientist at Microsoft, award winning engineer and researcher in the field of developer productivity and well-being, presents “The New Future of Work: Building It, Not Waiting for It” on Wednesday, November 16 from 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. PT.

The last two and a half years have caused dramatic shifts in the way we work, and we are currently settling into a “new normal.” We must ask ourselves — what do we want that new normal to be? We have the opportunity to create the new future of work instead of passively letting it appear over time. To that end, we are studying everything from individual productivity in the work place, to team dynamics, to organizational behavior and societal implications to understand the impact different ways of working have and to ensure we create a better future. Come learn what we know so far about remote and hybrid work, impacts across cultures and genders, and what changes you can make to build an inclusive, productive future of work.

Questions: Contact Jennifer Wicks, Executive Producer, at jwicks@calstate.edu or 562-951-4525 prior to webcast day.

This webcast will take place Wednesday, November 16, 2022 from 10:00am – 11:00am. All CSU Faculty & Staff are invited to attend this free webcast.
