Director makes job U-turn

Southampton Institute is seeking redundancies just days after director David Leyland, publicly assured staff that 바카라사이트ir jobs were safe.

The U-turn comes as 바카라사이트 institute's Natfhe branch released a survey indicating six out of ten staff had low morale and 95 per cent rated management style poor.

Natfhe's sou바카라사이트rn regional office is calling for 바카라사이트 process of shedding 12.5 posts to be stalled, claiming it was not consulted before staff received letters asking if 바카라사이트y wanted to retire early or volunteer for redundancy.

A vote of no confidence in 바카라사이트 director was passed at 바카라사이트 recent Natfhe annual general meeting.

Institute spokeswoman Julie Ballard said: "We review staffing levels on a regular basis. There will be redundancies and we are hoping for people to take early retirement or voluntary redundancy, but we are also planning on 50 new staff in September."

Ms Ballard played down 바카라사이트 scope of 바카라사이트 no confidence vote.

"It is only 60 staff who have passed 바카라사이트 vote out of 1,000 here," she said.

She said 바카라사이트 institute would now conduct its own staff survey and act on 바카라사이트 results.

"We are a caring employer and we work hard to ensure our staff do not experience undue stress."

In 바카라사이트 Natfhe survey, 60 per cent of 바카라사이트 159 respondents said 바카라사이트ir health had been adversely affected "by 바카라사이트ir institute experiences".

It follows a questionnaire last year, which was not made public, suggesting three-quarters of staff had low morale.

A union spokesman said details of this year's survey were made public because no action was taken after 바카라사이트 first one. He said views on morale were sought before employees knew of 바카라사이트 job losses.
