Performance Development Review (PDR)

All staff should receive an annual Performance Development Review (PDR). Details of the purpose of PDR and what is involved can be found on the learning and development webpages.

Staff volunteering and Community Challenges

Did you know that as a member of staff, the University will allow teams a paid day to undertake volunteering in the community?  This is known as a Community Challenge and you can incorporate it into a team-building exercise as a department. See the Community challenges webpages for more information.

Learning and development

Part of Human Resources, Staff Learning and Development’s primary purpose is to design and implement University-wide training and development systems and programmes. Much of our work is geared to helping the University meet its commitments as a good employer by ensuring that training needs are identified and provision is in place to meet organisational as well individual needs. This means that we work closely with specialist internal and external providers to design programmes to meet specific requirements.

• Details of training providers and courses can be also be found on the Staff Learning and Development website

Tuition refund scheme

The Tuition Refund Scheme provides a means for financially supporting University staff who wish to be considered for courses leading to further qualifications.

The TRS should be used for new courses leading to qualification. It is expected that consideration for training of this nature will normally be considered through the Performance and Development Review (PDR). Further information can be found on the Human Resources webpages under Tuition Refund Scheme.
