Personnel Services
Personnel Services supports Council's Personnel Committee in the strategic development, implementation, and review of comprehensive policies and practices on the employment of all university staff, and contributes to the work of other relevant committees in this general area.
The focus of the section's day-to-day activity is providing specialist personnel advice to heads of department, chairmen of faculty boards, and departmental administrators, in the context of an overall devolved approach to employment within the University.
In addition, officers of the section service various central staffing provisions, such as procedures for the recognition of distinction, the joint consultative committees with employee representatives, grading, disciplinary appeals, grievances not resolved at departmental level, and certain elements of academic appointments.
Close contacts exist with the other sections within Personnel and Related Services (the Equality and Diversity Unit, Childcare Services, the Occupational Health Service, and the University Safety Office), as well as with the Oxford Learning Institute.
