Employee Resources

Human Resources is excited to launch UKG Ready, a new software tool. As we use UKG, we will continue to add customizations and enable new modules, so please be prepared for the system to evolve as we use it.

In the first stage of our implementation, UKG Ready will replace HireTouch, the applicant tracking systems we have used for faculty and staff recruitment since 2013. HireTouch has been discontinued as a product.

Please see our Welcome to UKG Ready document for instructions on how to log in to UKG Ready, how to use UKG Ready to manage a faculty or staff recruitment process, or how current employees should apply for jobs at Luther College.

Are you an external candidate considering a career at Luther College? Please see our Luther Careers site for links to open positions, summaries of employee benefits, and much more!

We are excited to announce that staff meetings will resume in October 2022.  They are held on Wednesdays at 2 p.m., and Thursdays at 9 a.m., in Peace Dining Room unless otherwise noted. Each month the Wednesday and Thursday agendas are the same. Two meetings are offered each month (other than December) so that staff can arrange for offices to be covered and allow everyone the opportunity to attend. The December meeting is only once (TBD) and is designed for a fun hour to gather, visit with others, as well as the possibility of singing, laughter, and games.
