Director's Message
Colleagues,
A group of our HDR students and ECRs are wanting the School to function as a much more environmentally sustainable workplace. If you have any out of the box or more conventional ideas as to what the School could and perhaps should be doing, please bring them to the attention of Tharika Liyanage and Kate Holland.
Now that examinations are over I wish everyone a quiet and productive week ahead
Steve

Training
An important service of the Human Resource Division is the provision of a range of relevant and contemporary training and development opportunities for university staff.
To improve current staff training and development opportunities, we have undertaken the two major actions:
- Conducted an informal training needs analysis to identify delivery gaps in staff training needs which has resulted in the introduction of new and additional training workshops that will be offered across the course of the 2018 year.
- Refreshed the ANU Staff Training & Development website to streamline and update information on the range of face-to-face training and online training opportunities – the refreshed site is available at: https://services.anu.edu.au/human-resources/training-development
These service improvements are part of our broader goal to strengthen support for individual professional and career development, and the advancement of the university’s strategic priorities and vision. |
