How has the semester shaped up so far? Are any issues emerging – covid, ERP, PDR, timetabling, workload, student support, or even just finding somewhere to buy a coffee?
The local UCU branch will be hosting an open online meeting to discuss at 12:30pm on Wednesday 12 October.
This is a chance for all staff to talk to UCU reps about working at Heriot-Watt University.
The meeting is open to members and non-members and the Zoom link for meeting can be found on the Watt Could be Better? newsbeat article on the staff intranet at (HWU login required).
People Enabler
HWUCU oppose the use of metrics. We have not agreed to the use of metrics for research, or in connection with a performance review tool which is known variously as People Enabler, Succession Planner, or Talent Review.
Please contact the branch office if your line manager or anyone from HR contacts you about this.
Working group
We are currently setting up a working group about systems, processes and workflows. If you are interested in joining this group, please email me at m.winters@hw.ac.uk.
