mitHR will be available for everyone from 1 March
AU’s new digital HR solution – mitHR – will soon be launched across the university. Among other things, it will serve as a platform to register holiday requests and absences, and it will offer employees and managers more self-service opportunities. mitHR is being rolled out in stages with local differences.
AU has said goodbye to its old HR system, AUHRA, and from 1 March the university will use a new digital solution – mitHR. In this system, employees will be able to find information about their holiday and absences, terms of employment, reporting relationship and organisational affiliation, and managers will be able to get an overview of the staff in their unit.
mitHR offers employees and managers the opportunity to perform a number of HR-related administrative tasks themselves. With just a few clicks, employees can register their own sick days or request holiday, and managers can approve these entries in the system. Throughout 2023, more functions will be added to mitHR, such as staff development dialogues and salary.
Holiday and absence overview will move from mit.au.dk to mitHR
While the self-service functions will be rolled out in phases, employees will be able to get an overview of their holiday and absence in mitHR from the outset. The holiday and absence overview on mit.au.dk will no longer be updated.

Employees in the administration will be expected to use all the self-service features from 1 March, while academic departments will agree their own processes for implementation. University Director Kristian Thorn describes mitHR an important part of AU’s digitisation strategy.
“mitHR offers managers and employees new and improved opportunities to perform a number of HR-related tasks digitally. I hope that many of you will experience the benefits of being able to see all your HR-related information in one place and to use the self-service functions. The system also means that the university can improve the quality of its HR-related data and ensure that it is secure,” says Kristian Thorn, who encourages staff to make use of the self-service opportunities the system offers.
Departments at TECH have had access to the system from 25 January 2023, because staff in this faculty also use mitHR to register project time, which means they needed to start using the system quickly. TECH is now gathering experiences from this early phase, which it will share with the rest of the university. NAT will follow suit on 1 March. Arts, Aarhus BSS and Health are currently establishing a framework for how mitHR will be implemented organisationally, which is expected to be in place after the summer holiday. More precise details of how staff in these faculties will be expected to use the self-service functions will be announced through local management channels.
Get help with mitHR
- All units at AU have their own secretaries and HR employees who have been trained to use mitHR. These members of staff can help to answer your mitHR questions.
- All mitHR users can get help on the mitHR how-to site, which has webpages for employees and managers.
- In early March, once the system has been launched, there will be a number of Q&A sessions on Teams. The dates and times for these sessions will be announced on the mitHR how-to website.
