STAFFING REVIEW<br />
A key task of EFPI in 2007 was strategic planning in relation to EFPI trajectories in consideration of <strong>the</strong><br />
major directions of <strong>the</strong> <strong>University</strong>. In <strong>the</strong> process of setting up <strong>the</strong>se plans and networking with staff and<br />
units across CSU it became apparent that <strong>the</strong> scope of current and potential activities of EFPI required and<br />
expansion in staffing and a review of staff roles. This expansion of roles led to an approved increase in<br />
percentage employment of Dr Loftus from 50% to 100% and <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mal secondment to EFPI in 2008 of Dr<br />
McAllister after her Special Studies Program (SSP) leave. Staff appraisal and development <strong>for</strong>med a<br />
substantial part of 2007 workload with all staff being on probation. Staff development focussed on<br />
induction and orientation to new systems, strategies and procedures: including supervision orientation<br />
workshops, probationary reviews.<br />
