GAP Analysis and Initial Action Plan Design
Mapping the current conditions of research and administrative staff at the faculty using an online questionnaire.
Based on the completed questionnaires, we will process a Gap Analysis to create a concept of the differences between what works at the faculty, and what we would like to establish at the faculty within the new direction of HRS4R.
The Working Group HR Award is collaborating on the creation of the Gap Analysis. The Gap Analysis will be presented to the Management of the faculty and the Dean’s Council in June 2020. From the Gap Analysis, in cooperation with the Working Group HR Award, an FSS Initial Action Plan Design is gradually being created, which will be presented to the faculty management, Dean’s Council and employees in June 2020, and must document the fulfilment of individual shortcomings (legislation, programmes, support infrastructure).
A specific part of the analysis is also focused on the process of open recruitment of workers.

All documents and translations will be approved by the Faculty Management and sent to the European Commission by December 9, 2020.
