Important Information
During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity. If you do not have JavaScript running you will recieve a message to advise you of the length of time before the time-out. If you have JavaScript enabled, the time-out is lengthy and should not cause difficulty, however you should note the following tips to avoid losing your comments or corrupting your entries:
-
DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.
-
DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time. Complete and submit all comments for one document before commenting on another.
-
DO NOT leave your submission half way through. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments. The system will email you a copy of your comments so you can identify where you were up to and add to them later.
-
DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three stages of the submission process.
(1) This Procedure is effective from 5 September 2017. (2) This Procedure outlines when and how staff of the University should communicate with each other. (3) This Procedure applies to all staff of the University. (4) This Procedure is pursuant to the Workplace Relations policy. (5) The Vice-Chancellor (or nominee) will determine appropriate ways to communicate with staff about the University's Strategic Plan, the University's progress towards achieving its objectives and the Vice-Chancellor's vision and values for the success of the University or any other matter of importance. (6) Managers will develop appropriate processes within their areas to communicate with staff about University matters and local work area matters, and to encourage staff feedback. (7) Communication can occur via regular face-to-face individual and team meetings, meetings with broader colleagues and work groups (e.g. Unit, Division, Faculty), and staff retreats. (8) The use of email, websites (such as intranets, interactive online tools and social media), telephone or video conferences, and written information also supports this face-to-face communication. (9) Managers with staff at different University campuses must ensure that there are appropriate and effective communication mechanisms in place so that all staff can access relevant information regardless of their location. (10) Where managers plan to make major changes in the workplace, they must consult and communicate in accordance with the consultation on major workplace change provisions in the Deakin University Enterprise Agreement 2017.Staff Communication procedure
