Could your staff learning evaluation processes benefit from an upgrade? UHR members have the opportunity to access and use a new staff learning evaluation toolkit which has been designed to meet the specific needs of the Higher Education sector. Over the last 18 months a team of HR academics from Newcastle Business School have worked with HR professionals from Northumbria University, Oxford Brookes University and University College London on a project to improve the way that staff learning and development is evaluated. Supported by HEFCE’ s Leadership, Governance and Management Fund the team led by Professor Sharon Mavin (Dean, Newcastle Business School) and Lesley Lee (Deputy Director of HR, Northumbria University) have developed a comprehensive learning evaluation toolkit which is available to UK HEIs at no cost. As an UHR member you can benefit from the full menu of 47 tools to select those that would add the most value to your approach to evaluating staff (academic and professional) learning and development activities. The guide to the toolkit explains the rationale for each resource and also gives specific advice on how to customise the resources to fit with your individual institution.
