  • Staff Training and Development Programme

    Practice No. 1284

    Last modified: 27/10/2011 11:20:31

    Institution: The Royal Veterinary College

    The courses and workshops outlined in our programme are designed to meet the needs of all groups of staff within the College and offer a wide variety of development opportunities in five key areas:

     

    • Health & Safety

    • Information Technology

    • Leadership & Management

    • Skills & Knowledge

    • Wellbeing

     

    In our 2009/10 training programme, we introduced a section specific to the development of researchers, in response to principle 4 of the Concordat. This section has continued to develop following feedback received from research staff, line managers and principal investigators.

     

    Research staff may also attend any of the other Staff Training & Development courses offered in the programme.

  • Organisational and Staff Development - Building Effective Partnerships

    Practice No. 1224

    Last modified: 24/11/2010 09:57:48

    Institution: University College London

    This is a brief summary of the organisational model that we have adopted in order to work more closely with Schools, Faculties and Departments and 'partner' with them in understanding and providing for the needs of their particular staff in a ‘bespoke’ way where appropriate. This positions us better to target our resource towards meeting real needs, while striving for enhanced alignment between UCL’s research strategy and individual aspirations. This new model also enables us to work more closely in partnership with other key people deployed at a Faculty or Department level, such as Research Facilitators, Research Leaders, HR Consultants, Faculty Managers etc.

  • Well-being assessment for postgraduate researchers

    Practice No. 1097

    Last modified: 18/04/2010 16:32:21

    Institution: Imperial College London

    Research has shown that the well-being of employees is critical to the performance of both the individual and their organisation. However, no-one has thoroughly assessed the factors affecting the well-being of doctoral researchers. All the investment going into transferable skills development programmes will not yield optimum results if researchers are adversely affected by well-being issues that are neither understood nor quantified adequately. This led us to develop an innovative well-being assessment, specifically for postgraduate researchers, based on a clinically approved methodology and including a wide consultation amongst stakeholders.
