It is the pursuit of the University's goals that generates work for all staff. How work is allocated and performed in turn impacts upon the University's success in achieving its goals and on the job satisfaction of staff members.
A number of factors, within and outside of the University, impact upon the organisation's resources, the quantum of work required to be performed and our ability to maintain quality service.
Change introduced by the government related to funding or policy, demand for a greater number and diversity of services and increasing competition may force the University at any time to reconsider its organisational structure, the allocation of its resources and its delivery of services and outcomes. These external factors and the necessity to respond to them may also impact upon designated workloads.
The challenge for the University and for all staff is to work within an environment characterised by change and to recognise that the allocation of work in response to change impacts upon what we can achieve and on the quality of our achievements.
