As we prepare for the holidays I would like to thank everyone for their dedication to defeating cancer. I hope to see everyone next Wednesday, Dec. 15 at 5 pm at our holiday party in the Lombardi Atrium and wish you all a very happy and safe holiday.
Along with season’s greetings, this month marks the beginning of a long awaited upgrade to our university systems, beginning with payroll and human resources. Our system was already a bit dated when I started working here in 1996 so it is exciting to see a new web-based system—along with less paper.
The new system, known as the Georgetown Management System (GMS) goes live on January 3 right when we return from the holiday recess and will replace Genesys and Employee Access+. The system will enable all employees to better manage, access and view pay, benefits and financial information.
Lombardi’s Human Resources Administrator Annie Alston (ext. 7-1615; email ama3@georgetown.edu) has been preparing for this transition for the past several months and is our internal resource in addition to the team manning the help lines (ext. 7-4949) for University Information Services (UIS).
Details about GMS can be found here. There is also a central Q & A email address at gmsinfo@georgetown.edu. The Medical Center contact is Deborah Bassard (bassardd@georgetown.edu; ext. 7-8226). For information about how GMS will affect you, please be on the lookout for upcoming email correspondence from Annie.
Best wishes for a happy holiday!
