HR Governance
The work of Human Resources is governed by the HRC (Human Resources Committee). The Department also fosters cordial relations with four recognised trade unions, which it engages through the JUCC (Joint Unions Campus Committee). Other University committees also influence the work of the Department.
HRC (Human Resources Committee)
The HRC is a committee which:
- Approves University HR strategy.
- Makes recommendations to the University Council for new or revised employment policies to support the agreed HR strategy.
- Approves procedures in respect of the above employment policies.
- Receives and considers reports from the Director of Human Resources, the Equality and Diversity Board, the Health and Safety Committee and other relevant bodies.
The HRC is chaired by a Pro-Chancellor and also includes the Chair of the Council, the Vice-Chancellor, a Pro-Vice-Chancellor, the Director and Assistant Director of HR, four lay representatives of the Council, a senior representative of each faculty, and two senior representatives from Professional Services (17 in total).
