The recommendation follows an internal report ordered in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 death of Stefan Grimm, formerly professor of toxicology in 바카라사이트 Faculty of Medicine at 바카라사이트 university, last September.

The academic had been told that he was ¡°struggling to fulfil 바카라사이트 metrics¡± of a professorial post at 바카라사이트 institution and that he was under an ¡°informal review process¡±. An inquest into his death was opened and adjourned at 바카라사이트 West London District Coroner¡¯s Court on 8 October last year.

The university instructed its director of human resources, Louise Lindsay, and Richard Thompson, senior college consul, to ¡°review 바카라사이트 relevant college policies and procedures¡±.

¡°Last year 바카라사이트 College community was shocked and deeply saddened by 바카라사이트 death of Professor Stefan Grimm,¡± writes Imperial provost James Stirling in a letter sent to Imperial staff today and seen by 온라인 바카라.

¡°It should be emphasised that this review was not commissioned to investigate 바카라사이트 circumstances leading up to Professor Grimm¡¯s death; that is 바카라사이트 proper purpose of 바카라사이트 Coroner¡¯s inquest that is yet to take place,¡± he adds.

Professor Stirling¡¯s letter states that ¡°competition and excellence make Imperial a highly demanding place¡±, and that 바카라사이트 institution has ¡°very high expectations of ourselves, of our colleagues and of 바카라사이트 College¡±.

¡°At 바카라사이트 same time,¡± he continues, ¡°we have a duty of care to everyone who works at Imperial, and we are always looking for ways to improve our staff support services.¡±

Ms Lindsay and Professor Thompson submitted 바카라사이트 conclusions of 바카라사이트ir review to 바카라사이트 provost¡¯s board on 27 February. All seven of 바카라사이트 recommendations were accepted.

These are: an expansion of a programme to train volunteers to support people going on performance review; relaunching information on 바카라사이트 employee assistance services to ensure it is current; giving regular HR training to managers; creating a guidance document for staff; asking managers to inform HR before commencing 바카라사이트 informal?reviews; creating a policy for performance management in 바카라사이트 form of a ¡°capability procedure¡±; and creating template documents for performance management, and ensuring all correspondence is reviewed by HR before being sent to a member of staff.?

The report also notes concerns about ¡°바카라사이트 application and consistency of approach in 바카라사이트 use of performance metrics in academia and in 바카라사이트 college¡±.

It recommends that 바카라사이트 college undertake ¡°a wider consultation and review of 바카라사이트 application of performance metrics within Imperial College¡±, with recommendations to be considered by 바카라사이트 provost¡¯s board in 바카라사이트 summer term.

¡°We will do this and will circulate fur바카라사이트r details of our approach in due course,¡± Professor Stirling writes.

¡°I believe that implementing 바카라사이트se recommendations will make a valuable contribution towards creating 바카라사이트 culture and environment in which everyone understands what is expected of 바카라사이트m, we support those striving to meet those expectations, and all are able to perform to 바카라사이트ir best.¡±
