This planned project for a new HR Learning Performance System will allow for the replacement of the existing Talent Management System which is reaching end of life/end of support in December 2026. This new system will introduce additional modules designed to strengthen employee development through the automation of compliance tracking, training management, and the promotion of continuous learning opportunities. It will also support alignment between individual goals and organizational objectives, enable real-time feedback, and assist in identifying and recognizing high-performing employees. This modernization will enhance the City’s overall approach to training, performance management, and workforce development across all departments. HITS will leverage cooperative contract(s) and/or existing contract(s) for the purchase of software and will return to City Council for approval as required.
Fiscal Note:
No significant Fiscal Operating impact is anticipated because of these projects.
