Management and Staff Development

Welcome

Here at the University of Portsmouth, we are committed to providing a programme of good quality management and staff development to ensure that staff understand their role in delivering University ambitions, and have the skills that they need to be fully effective.

The University's 'Leading Change' initiative seeks to enable successful applicants to contribute to the continued success of the University whilst also providing them with a tailored personal development opportunity. Further information can be found on our intranet pages or by contacting the Management and Staff Development Adviser for your client area.

September 2011 saw the launch of a new 'Leader and Manager as Coach' programme. The programme provides leaders and managers with additional skills to conduct PDRs in an effective and engaging way, work towards a coaching style of management and be empowered to lead staff to achieve institutional goals and support staff in dealing with change.
