Management Competencies

• UCL recognises the importance of effective
  management skills to ensure that it maintains its
  place in a competitive global market
• The staff survey highlighted the need for more
  consistent management standards across UCL
• As a result a simple set of transparent, coherent
  management competencies has been agreed and
  publicised
• Launched in January 2008 via all staff email and
  currently being piloted with all grade 10 staff -
  including non clinical professors
• Website with relevant information and links to
  related policy strategy documents is available

What does it affect?Recruitment

• UCL must recruit staff who can demonstrate the
  management competencies it values
• UCLs management competencies must be reflected
  in the person specification
• The management competencies document must be made
  available as part of the further particulars so
  that applicants are aware of UCLs expectations
• HR will carry out checks on grade 10 adverts and
  information packs to ensure that the competencies
  document is appropriately used.

Induction, Appraisal and Development

• Induction
• Use competencies in the induction process to give
  staff with management responsibilities a detailed
  understanding of what is expected of them
• Appraisal
• Managers of grade 10 staff will discuss the
  implications of management competencies for an
  individual in their appraisal meeting. Grade 10
  staff should be able to cite examples of using
  relevant management competencies and discuss
  their development needs
• Training and Development
• Training is available to help managers develop
  competencies. Where gaps are identified the
  Organisational and Staff Development Team is
  available to help staff find the right
  development activity
