Kully Sunner; Linda Ali Brown; Kamlyn Ramkissoon; Veronia McConochie; Oksana Shapoval; Sandra Bamborough

Q: Looking at our current process outlined in the workflow provided (also available on our intranet!), how can we ensure we A. facilitate an effective recruitment process, and B. ensure we  avoid unnecessary delays in the ability of a researcher to commence their work

Next steps: identify your lead for the T&F group

meet up as a group and discuss the onboarding process-

should we be thinking about a checklist that gets completed at the time the job is advertised so that HR and Central HR already know all of the checks and approvals that will be needed BEFORE the person starts (for example, OH clearance, DBS checks, BSU clearance, honorary NHS contract, research passport…)- KCL had such a checklist

What would it look like? Agree on actions

Roll-out quick wins identified for leavers; should we be doing something more automated once they have left? For example, what about their IT account? Shouldn’t that be closed as a default after 3 months unless otherwise specified? Report back at next team meeting(s)
