Improved Service Delivery

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The deadline for submitting an interest survey for Improved Service Delivery (ISD) finance and human resources positions is 5:00 p.m. on January 18, 2019. If you received an invitation to fill out the survey (the survey was sent to all P&S and Merit staff), please fill it out with “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.” To be considered for a position, you must indicate “yes” or “maybe” on the survey. However, these responses do not commit you to accept a position, nor does it guarantee that you will be offered a position.

If you did not receive an invitation to fill out the survey, but are interested in any of the positions, you can email: ISD_transition@iastate.edu.

If you missed the job showcase, you can view materials on the ISD website and video recordings of the presentations from the showcase:
Finance Service Team Culture
Finance Specialist role
Procurement and Expense Specialist role
Grants Finance Specialist role
Staff Recruiting Specialist role
HR Partner role
HR Coordinator role

The university is also creating transition teams, which will provide local support for staff and units through the role transitions.

The next steps in ISD are conducting meetings with employees who are interested in ISD positions and implementing transition team activities. A bookmark with an ISD timeline was distributed at the job showcase.
