People, Potential and Performance (PPP)

The PPP framework is designed to draw on, manage and develop our human resources. The intention is to promote and implement a strong alignment between individual potential and performance and organizational aims.

• Build and maintain world-class performance through engaging all staff in strategy and values

• Recruit, support and develop world-class staff• Enhance leadership and management capacity

Implementation through a 4 phase process (probation, sabbatical, promotion, reward and recognition, performance appraisal and review workload models, leadership development

KPI Reports

Ratio (R:T) of actual to minimum expectations

20:80 40:60 50:50 60:40 80:20

• These performance metrics are minimum expectations and it is likely that higher expectations may need to be set at PDA for some staff

• The heterogeneity of disciplines means that these minimum expectations may be moderated through the Science Executive to recognize differences in research expectations or learning outcomes between disciplines

• Science Executive has also been working on a definition of a ‘standard teaching expectation’ for staff. Needed if to get some equity around what constitutes an 80:20 (R:T) expectation

• details available in the PPP documentation • “a member of staff with a 20% teaching expectation is expected to

take responsibility for the delivery of the equivalent of 0.5 of an undergraduate unit with a unit enrolment of at least 135 students and should also make contribution to postgraduate coursework teaching”

• May need to be moderated later pending development of UWA-wide workload model

Notes

Social and Human Sciences

In recognition of the differences in research publication patterns in economics which have a poor correlation between the top 20% journals and the most respected journals in economics and where the assessment of the ERA for economics relies on peer review of the best 30% of our articles, the Head of School will moderate this requirement in a way that encourages quality in publication.
