Two farewell notes to colleagues who are leaving us.
Dear Marcella
It was a pleasure knowing you and I wish you all the best for your retirement. Thank you so much for all your hard work for HEEON and your tremendous contribution to the equalities field. A voice of experience will be lost and you will be missed.
With very best wishes

Dear Marcella
Thank you for all of your work on the equality agenda over the years. I hope you have a long, healthy and happy well deserved retirement. (I hope there is a fresh batch of enthusiasts coming up to replace all the brilliant stalwarts who have retired this year ;-). )
All very best wishes

Dear Colleagues,
Well it’s time to say good bye, as tomorrow I retire. I’ve really enjoyed working in equalities in higher education since 1991 and I’ve benefited hugely from the professional support and friendship of so many colleagues over the years, particularly through HEEON and admineo and Eastern Region network. So thank you all!

Subject: Re: Promotions processes at Mat leave / PT working mix
Instigated via Athena SWAN, we have a system (starting is science areas) of allocating a reduced teaching load to academic staff who return from maternity leave, in order to allow then to more easily get back into their research.
Hope this helps, Rob

Dear All
Does anyone have any specific policies, procedures or projects which support Part Time female academics/researchers, who have been on maternity leave, in the promotions process?
e.g. a promotions process which specifically takes into account this type of situation

Subject: Gender Positive Action Initiatives
Dear All,
We are currently exploring and reviewing positive action initiatives to increase the number of female staff in senior grades, i.e. both in Professorial or Senior Administrative grades. I would welcome information on initiatives/policy implemented in other HEI's to address this concern.
Below is a list of some positive action initiatives. It would be helpful to know;
1) Which are in operation in your HEI
2) The impact they have had
3) Any other action your HEI has in place not listed
* Targeted recruitment
* Succession Planning
* Leadership development programmes
* Mentoring
* Career development workshops
* Unconscious bias training for recruiters and decision makers
* Women network group - (senior women's group)
* A review of the recruitment/promotion process to identify barriers and areas for further positive action (E.g. consideration taken of impact of PT working and maternity leave)
* Athena Swan Charter
Thanks
Nneb
