As part of performance management, staff should be having regular discussions with their line manager regarding development.
There are a number of courses that all staff can attend to further their skills and training. These are advertised in the departmental newsletter, but also on the HR webpages here.
Mentoring and coaching
The university also has a number of mentoring and coaching schemes. These are listed here.
In the department there are also a number of mentoring schemes:
- All new staff should receive information on a mentor. Email Environment HR <environment-hr@york.ac.uk> if you haven't.
- PhD students and ECRs have organised a mentoring scheme to aid career development. Contact the PhD reps for more information.
- Undergraduates have a buddy scheme where stage 2-4 students can buddy up with a stage 1 student. Email Chair of Board of Studies for more info and advertise to your supervisees.
