In 2022, the Reward team worked with the Focus programme to carry out a Service Review of the HR Grading Service. This was a highly consultative process, which gathered evidence from over 130 stakeholders across the University through eight workshops, 18 interviews and 74 responses to targeted surveys.
Recommendations were made to address the range of issues identified through the 'engage' and 'diagnose' phases of the review and a high-level implementation plan agreed, with activities planned through to 2025/26.
Project workstreams
Workstreams have formed to deliver the three key recommendations arising from the review, which include:
- Immediate introduction of a central ‘triage’ approach to grading;
- A longer-term project to standardise job descriptions; and
- Improved training provision
