Thank you for all your continuous support throughout the year and for making our events a success. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to unveil more new initiatives that will foster collaboration and connection. Stay tuned with us, and let’s continue to build a vibrant community together.

The recently concluded People Leader Program for Bands 4-5 saw an impressive attendance of over 100 participants, showcasing our commitment to leadership development. This strong turnout underscores the importance of nurturing our many dedicated leaders. As highlighted in our previous HR monthly communications, empowering these leaders is crucial for driving our organizational success.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Have you set your objectives for the 2025-2026 Performance and Development Review (PDR) Cycle?

These objectives should align individual, team, and departmental aspirations with the university's strategic vision, fostering accountability and collaboration while promoting continuous learning.

Please submit them in e-PDR and get approval from your Appraising Officer by 28 February 2026.

For support, virtual sessions for people managers will be offered in January, and online PDR resources are available here.
