Development for Manager’s and
Leaders in Managing Change
These development opportunities focus primarily on managing people
through change within a context of systematic, consistent and
principled people management. Specific modules on managing
change are offered as part of the longer programmes. We can also
support change processes through bespoke development for teams or
groups of staff including groups of managers or leaders.
Managers also can have access to a range of online learning material
on managing change for managers and leaders including learning
guides, book summaries, recommended articles and web sites and
management pocketbooks. For further information please contact

The HERA Team
The HERA process aims to produce a staff structure that is fair and free
from bias. The role of the verifier is a key function in this process and
the session will aim to give support to those who are new to the role
but would also be of value to those who wish to review current
practice. By the end of the session verifiers should have a clearer
understanding of their role within the HERA scheme which will help to
ensure a consistent approach across the University.
