Cal Poly Humboldt Human Resources & Payroll Newsletter - March 2024

March 1, 2024

This month inside Cal Poly Humboldt Human Resources & Payroll Newsletter: 

Challenge Accepted - by Dr. Anthony Casas - For a moment, I had considered starting with a related quote about change, but after reviewing more than a few, I realized none were right and many were over shared. This quarter’s newsletter starts then by simply saying HR and Payroll continue to evolve with the primary focus being to improve services while also navigating the change.
