Kia ora koutou
I am pleased to share that we have a revised go-live date for our new HR ecosystem, Hono | Human Connections, Monday 10 February 2025.
To facilitate the transition between systems there will be a shutdown period from Monday 6 January 2025 – Sunday 9 February 2025, following the end-of-year closedown. During this time PeopleSoft, Silkroad and Cornerstone (Career tools) will be unavailable. SmartRecruiters will shut down from Wednesday 15 January – Sunday 9 February 2025.
