Less than a year ago, the Confluence Knowledgebase was announced as the website to go to for employee resources. Now that this new Compass program has launched, what will happen to Knowledgebase? Why do we have Compass when we have Knowledgebase?

Thank you for your question!  There are approximately 670 employees inside the Division of Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension who don’t work within Cooperative Extension and therefore don’t have access to this Knowledgebase.  We wanted to design an informational resource that would be accessible to everyone.  Compass will likely have some overlap with the information posted to Knowledgebase – not unlike the overlap we see in the announcements shared through both Tuesday Morning Notes and the Weekly Bulletin.  We also planned for Compass to be a public website so that people interested in applying for a position within the division could learn a little more about our organization as a workplace beforehand.  (There are some reports and marketing resources accessible only to those with a NetID.)  We’d encourage you to use both sites.  Knowledgebase is a great place to have a conversation and has a wealth of information for the Extension community.  Also, the Knowledgebase is designed for Extension-specific information.
