Human Resources
Induction
All new University staff are automatically invited to attend an Induction Conference, organised twice yearly by Management and Staff Development.
The aims of the Conference are:
- Give an overview of University structures and main areas of activity, highlighting topical issues and challenges faced;
- Offer opportunities for new staff to familarise themselves with the geography of the University;
- Help new staff to make contacts/establish working relationships in a social setting;
- Ensure that all new staff understand the importance of their individual contribution and feel part of the wider University community.
Conference Format
The half-day Conference includes a plenary session to set the University within a wider context. The session provides an overview of how the institution is structured and managed and highlights topical issues and challenges faced. There is also an interactive session covering essential topics for new staff plus the option of taking a walking tour around selected University locations. An Information Marketplace provides those attending with the opportunity to pick up and take away relevant information.
Conference Dates
The next Conference will take place on Thursday 11 April 2013.
