The University has put forward a policy for organisational change. The document has been circulated to you by email and it is attached here. The proposed changes give a lot of freedom to so far unnamed “change managers” to make staff redundant, to reduce the notice of dismissal from 90 days to 45 days, and to reappoint staff on different contracts with different terms and conditions. We would like to have your opinion about this policy and this forum has been set up especially for you to discuss it. Please be considerate and polite in your contributions. This thread is moderated and any offensive posts will be removed. Should you persist in posting offensive material you will be banned from the discussions. Thank you.

I agree. THis policy (one of so many HR have thrown at us without sufficient time to consider propoerly in some cases) has the potential to be very damaging. We really need further feedbakc from lots more members. We will be discussing this with HR and the other unions at the JNC on 25th March, so it would be helpful to have comments before then.

This policy indicates the 'caring' steps HRM think are appropriate when implementing changes such as a requirement for producing what impact the changes will have on people and I think processes, yet we are having to find and detect that impact by this change framework will have on the workforce. Surely the university should be producing a document which states, what policies and processes are being changed or affected by this new framework, such as redundancy notice times.
If the university is purporting to be a caring employer then we should not have to find changes which have being covertly embedded in this framework. The university should be practicing ethical change policies not engaging in covert behaviour to achieve an objective which I suspected is to more easily reduce overheads in pay and to increase workloads for staff

There are some important changes to be further discussed here; the reduction of notice of dismissal from 90 to 45 days and reappointment of staff on different contracts. The implications of these on the workloads for existing staff should also be considered.
