UF Engaged Update

Last year, UFHR undertook a comprehensive review of the UF Engaged system to improve its effectiveness. Based on the feedback received, UF Engaged will transition to a semi-annual process starting fall of 2024. As the system undergoes these changes, check-ins will be paused beginning April 29. However, probationary check-ins, both at three and six months, will continue based on the employee’s hire date and may be extended as needed.

If you have any questions, please see our Business Affairs HR Contact Information here.
