The result of that effort is a new customer service model that exemplifies two of HR’s core values: customer-centric and valued HR services. The centerpiece of this customer service strategy is HRNow, an online platform that is the go-to place to request HR services and get answers to HR-related questions.

Our Enhanced Customer Service Model

More than 10,000 employees rely on our services and depend on us to provide workplace solutions, answer questions about their benefits and much more.

    FAQs

    Why is HR transitioning to a new service model?

    Our current customer service model is outdated. It’s no longer an effective way to provide service to our university community. We need to take advantage of emerging technological tools to meet your needs.

    Go to HRNow and log in with your Unity ID and password. You also can access HRNow through links on the UHR website and from Employee Self Service in MyPack Portal.

    Those without a Unity ID and password can’t access HRNow. If you’re a new employee and haven’t received your Unity ID and password yet, you should contact your department, college or unit HR representative, and that person will assist you with your HR-related needs. New hires will continue to receive direct communication from the Onboarding Center about the onboarding process at NC State.
