CING Personnel Office: The CING’s Personnel Office will provide assistance with staff mobility. The Personnel Office will have the following responsibilities:

  • Appointment of a “home-institute mentor” for outgoing staff members, who will be responsible for maintaining contact and monitoring progress throughout the exchange. For staff members, their Departmental Manager will usually have this role
  • Recognition of periods spent abroad by CING staff as a positive reflection on their career and part of their continuous professional development. Therefore, staff will be encouraged by the Personnel Office to participate and gain international exposure
  • The Personnel Office will provide briefing sessions with staff on their return from mobility programmes, to assess the outcomes, which can be taken into account for staff assessments, CPD and used for structural reform
  • The Personnel Office will ensure that staff members’ achievements will be used as a positive example and communicated via the websites, social media and newsletters, as well as with presentations where they can share their experiences with colleagues. Where the mobility programme has led to staff members gaining new knowledge in a specific area of expertise useful to other colleagues, the Personnel Office will arrange for the mobile staff member to lead training sessions and in effect transfer their newly gained expertise to colleagues.
