Welcome to Human Resources

The departmental mission of Human Resources is to support the University in the accomplishment of its strategic business objectives by providing a high quality, continuously improving and comprehensive service to clients.

The Human Resources Department have adopted the University’s dynamic working practices. Staff are present on campus, in Bryn Afon, on varying working days and also working from home. We would encourage that should you have any query or request for information that you continue to send these electronically. To assist you in directing your queries to the most appropriate team member please see the page titled ‘Staff Contacts and Office Location’.

Should colleagues wish to meet with a representative from HR in person, then this must be arranged in advance. HR staff are similarly available for meetings/discussions over TEAMS.

Thank you for your continued understanding and co-operation.

Mandatory Training for Staff

The University has made some changes to the requirements for completing mandatory training that apply to all staff. This is training that is required by law. There are ten modules in total, they are available in Welsh and English and can be accessed via Blackboard on Cynnwys / Hyfforddiant Gorfodol / Mandatory Training. The ten modules cover the following themes:

• Legal and Compliance
• Safeguarding
• Equality

It is important that staff who have just joined the university complete the modules as soon as possible and within a month of starting their role, and any other colleagues who have training outstanding are required to complete as soon as possible.

Colleagues are able to see what training they have completed in their iTrent ESS platform. Similarly, there are reports available for managers to monitor completion of the training within their respective areas

For further information, visit the Staff Development section of the our web-pages. This page will provide further information on the modules, along with other information such as the renewal dates for each module, how they can be viewed in ESS, and the reports available.

If you therefore have responsibilities in this area, please take a few minutes to read this document.
