The University of Iowa’s new Shared Services structure is helping departments fill open positions more quickly, train new employees, and more easily fill gaps during prolonged staffing absences.

TIER@Iowa’s OneFinance@Iowa initiative created University Shared Services (USS) to streamline and improve financial services across campus using new technology and best practices. In addition to transitioning campus units to the shared services model, the new organization has been aiding non-transitioned units with staffing and training.
