Subject: Mandatory E&D
Training
Hello
Our PVC has asked me to do a quick survey of other
institutions to find out:
- Do you have mandatory induction
that includes an element of E&D? Yes, both organisational & local department/service
induction. Organisation: we have half a day with lunch for new staff.
Locally@ there is an induction checklist with E&D embedded for
managers to use with new staff.
- Do you have mandatory E&D
training? Yes. A 3 hour face to
face session, entitled: Respecting Diversity, for all new staff as
otherwise they cannot pass their probation, and as a refresher for
existing staff. (Plus we have 3 online courses (provided by MarshallACM)
for staff but these are not mandatory, just strongly recommended. They
are: Diversity at Work for all staff, Bullying & Harassment for all
staff & Bullying & Harassment for managers (they last just over an
hour each), plus online EIA training provided by Marshalls again (one hour
& 30 mins), as well as face to face EIA sessions (1 hour). I also
offer bespoke E&D courses but these are not mandatory obviously, we
also provide some disability awareness lunchtime sessions, again
non-mandatory).
- if yes – how many
sessions/hours etc a year? Minimum
could be 12 of each of the Induction & the Respecting Diversity
sessions in one year to as many as required such as over 40 sessions
provided to date this year alone.
- Do you have mandatory
Recruitment and Selection training for all recruiting managers? Yes. These are one day long. Again can
easily deliver 12 in a year or as many as required, through HR & staff
development.
- How is attendance monitored? Through the Staff
Development database using Staff ID employment numbers
and attendance on courses records, people have to sign a register at the
course they are attending and after the course this is confirmed on the
database and entered into their Training & Development Records
available on the system. If they have not attended or have transferred
onto another date, this is recorded. We provide quarterly & annual
reports to HR Committee & E&D Sub-Committee on attendance on these
courses. Plus as I stated earlier it is monitored by HR too if not
attended during probation.
Thanks
Lesley
