How the framework can help University staff

As the behavioural attributes framework is introduced across more HR processes it will assist staff in a number of ways:

In terms of recruitment

• Those involved with selection will have a clear understanding of the behavioural attributes that are required for a role.
• Those seeking employment will also have a clear understanding of the behavioural attributes valued by the University.

In performing their current roles

• The behavioural attributes required for the role will be identified - this will enable line managers to give staff clearer guidance about their ability to perform the role.
• Staff will have a clear understanding of the behavioural attributes that are important to the University.
• Training and development activity can be focused on specific behavioural attributes.

In terms of career progression

• The framework will assist individuals to understand the behavioural attributes needed for posts at the next grade up and staff will then be able to take up opportunities as they arise to help them to demonstrate that their profile meets that required of a future role.
