Review of the University’s Retirement PolicyA review of the University’s Retirement Policy had been scheduled to take place during 2019/20, but this work was postponed due to the Covid 19 pandemic. On 20 October 2022, the Human Resources Committee agreed that the review should now take place, and this work is being progressed. Consistent with the previous review of the retirement policy, the Human Resources Committee established an academic-led working group to conduct the review. The terms of reference and membership of the group can be found here. As with other recent reviews of HR policies, a full consultation is being conducted with the University community to ensure everyone’s voice is heard. |
