Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, and Pronouns Update

In mid-July, UCPath will introduce enhanced features that support the university's diversity initiatives and align with the Gender Recognition and Lived Name (GRLN) policy.

Changes for Employees

• Self-Identification: Upon logging into UCPath, employees will be guided to confirm, update, or decline self-identification details before accessing self-service features in UCPath.
• Gender identity: Updated terms for gender identity will include selections like Woman, Transgender Woman, Man, or Transgender Man.
• Sexual orientation: Categories like Asexual will be available, and the Gay or Lesbian selection has been separated into two distinct options.
• Pronouns selection: A new feature allows employees to select from a list of pronouns to be displayed alongside their name on certain pages in UCPath.
• Pronouns visibility: Pronouns will appear alongside employee names in UCPath, and will only be visible to managers, HR administrators and UCPath Employee Services on pages that display an employee's lived name.

Changes for Transactors

• Salesforce integration: Pronouns will be displayed alongside the employee's name.
• Pronoun visibility: For users with enhanced UCPath access, pronouns display when hovering over an employee's name on non-self-service pages. However, some UCPath pages don't support the hover capability. Review this UCPath Online FAQs for Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation and Pronouns document for a list of pages.

Introducing Talent Connect: UC Irvine's Applicant Tracking System

UCI Human Resources is implementing a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) at UC Irvine for Staff hiring. This will replace TAM, the current ATS module within UCPath, starting June 20, 2024. We will continue using UCPath but will no longer use TAM as our applicant tracking system.

Talent Connect is powered by iCIMS, which has been an ATS provider in the HR technology space since 2000. The platform offers a robust set of features to support the entirety of the hiring process, ensuring collaboration among hiring managers, candidates, human resources, and talent acquisition. Talent Connect also offers us a more contemporary system experience, similar to many of the online tools we currently use. The platform allows us to enhance the candidate experience, making it easier to use and providing real time communication regarding opportunities and hiring process status. View details.

Additional Features on Ask UCPath

As of May 6, 2024, UCPath is making it easier for employees to submit inquiries about pay or benefits. When employees go to UCPath online and click the Ask UCPath button, they will no longer have to manually select a topic and category when asking a question. The system will now automatically determine the topic and category based on information provided by the employee. This update simplifies the inquiry submission process, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

These new features are in addition to the April Ask UCPath enhancements that enable employees to reopen previously closed inquiries that require further attention, and to close outstanding inquiries when issues have been resolved or when UCPath assistance is no longer required.

Changes - Submit an Inquiry:

• The submission form will automatically fill in the topic and category fields based on the information provided in the subject and description.
• The updated landing page will display open and recently closed cases, making it easier for employees to access their inquiries.
• UCPath will also provide suggestions for resources that may assist in resolving issues.
