Talent management

We will enable our people to achieve their potential and develop their skills inline with the changing needs of the organisation.

How?

Professional Services Career Development Framework

We will introduce a career development framework for professional services staff to help colleagues plan their career journey.

Leaders and managers

We will seek to provide high-quality development opportunities to prepare current and future leaders and managers to perform effectively in their roles, with a specific focus on academic leaders.

Technician Commitment

We will support and develop technical staff through the delivery of the Technician Commitment Action Plan.

Learning and development

We will review our approach to learning and development across the University and implement well-designed opportunities that enable all colleagues to reach their potential and develop their skills in line with the changing needs of the organisation, taking into account the needs of different staff groups.

High-quality, impactful, continual conversations

We will set clear expectations and manage workloads through continual conversations and regular appraisals.

Apprenticeships

We will further promote the use of apprenticeships to recruit and develop staff to develop their professional skills, achieve nationally recognised qualifications, whilst growing the University’s workforce talent.
