Why can departments no longer submit bids for training and development funding as part of the Performance Review process?
It has been agreed by HR Policy Committee that, with effect from 2008-09, the £80,000 Performance Review Fund (historically set aside to fund training and development activities) will become aligned to the Better Management planning process which itself incorporates a training needs analysis. Rather than invite departments to bid for funding, the money will remain in the Professional & Organisational Development (POD) budget so that it can be allocated by POD to support specific needs identified through an improved prioritisation and planning process. This change has been introduced to increase the effectiveness of the University’s staff development provision and maximise the return on the funds invested by making use of the professional knowledge of the University’s staff developers.
