These pages cover guidelines for staff to plan for and review their performance, identify opportunities for career development and training, and for recognition of good performance through promotion, recognition of high performance and VC's Staff Awards.
ECU's annual planning and review process is required for all staff. It involves planning your goals for the year ahead and reviewing your achievements for the past year, aligning these with your area's operational plans and the University's strategic priorities.
ECU offers academic and professional staff a range of career options and pathways, along with development opportunities to support you in your career.
ECU’s Researcher Professional Development Framework will help you plan and track your progress according your career stage and participate in professional learning, mentoring and other activities to help build your research capabilities. This Framework identifies the research capabilities required by a researcher and forms part of ECU’s People Capability Matrix to support academics in the annual MPS process.
ECU offers several types of academic roles and career progression.
ECU offers promotion opportunities for academic staff who demonstrate sustained high achievement in key areas that support and align with the University's strategic priorities.
Recognition of significant contributions and sustained performance by staff is key to the university's success.
This page enables you to nominate a staff member, a team or yourself for outstanding contributions to ECU and to be formally recognised by the Vice-Chancellor for these achievements across a range of categories.
