These personnel modules aim to provide briefings on key personnel topics. They are aimed primarily at those people who deal with personnel matters within departments: for example, administrators and their personnel assistants or managers who wish to brush up their knowledge on specific issues. They will be particularly relevant to administrators and other personnel staff who are new to Oxford and who wish to find out how personnel matters are dealt with at the University, or more experienced staff taking on personnel functions for the first time.
The modules are as follows:
- Job evaluation and reward
- Contracts
- Induction and probation (to include optional overview of recruitment and selection procedures)
- Hours of work, leave and absence
Format : face-face
Intended for or aimed at Departmental and divisional administrators and managers (who have responsibility for personnel matters) only.
