Introduction

The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi, aka, the Gun Lake Tribe (The Tribe), a federally recognized Indian Tribe, is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for the implementation of a comprehensive Human Resources Information System (HRIS) that will streamline and enhance the HR functions of our tribe.

Background

As a Federally recognized Indian Tribe, the Gun Lake Tribe is a sovereign Tribe, with operations on Tribal trust lands based in Shelbyville and Wayland, Michigan. The Gun Lake Tribe and the Tribal Council work diligently toward improving the lives of its employees, their families and its Tribal Citizens.

Currently there are approximately 1400 employees on the gaming side and approximately 210 employees on the government side that will need to be supported by the new HRIS.

ADP Workforce Now is the current incumbent at the organization with two instances running – one supporting the governmental operation and one supporting gaming, hospitality, food and beverage operations.

Project Overview

The objective of the new HRIS is to implement a single system that runs all operations focused on an effort to centralize shared service operations within HR, Finance and IT. This intent is to implement a full lifecycle HR information system that covers the capabilities listed below that are fit for purpose for the current operations but also able to expand should the Tribe build out into additional revenue sources and Tribal Citizen services. The selected vendor should offer innovative approaches with a proven track record of success. During the evaluation process, the Tribe reserves the right to request additional information and/or clarification
