Introducing the Workload Management Programme
POD is excited to announce the launch of a comprehensive two-part programme designed to enhance workload management across the University. This initiative includes the in-person ‘Managing Workload Conversations’ course and an accompanying suite of online resources, the ‘Workload Management Toolkit’.
Developed in partnership with the ongoing People Strategy initiatives and in response to the findings of the Pay and Conditions Review, this programme provides Oxford University employees with the skills, tools, and guidance needed to manage workloads more effectively.
Currently, the programme is available to Professional Services staff, with tailored resources for Academics and Researchers in development through collaboration with the Academic Career and Reward Framework.
