Personnel or Staff

To attract and retain excellent staff who, through their teaching, research and professional support, will positively contribute to HAI’s development as an Institution of influence.

A key strength of the Institute is its staff. Attracting and retaining committed and talented staff allows us to fulfil our goals as an institution of influence. We will enable our academic staff to play to their strengths and ensure that they are rewarded for excellent performance. We will develop our own pipeline of new academic talent, and provide clear and rewarding career pathways and professional development. As a high-performance organisation, HAI will be characterised by strong performance management and enhancement systems. We will achieve this through an integrated strategy that addresses recruitment and appointment processes; workload management; academic staff review and planning; and professional development of our staff. We will support our academic and administrative leaders and managers to succeed in increasingly complex and demanding roles. We will recognise their strategic contribution to achieving HAI’s goals and to sustaining and retaining our staff. We will enhance the performance, learning and well-being of our leaders through proactive professional and organisational development.

General staff will be valued for their professional skills and recognised for the major contribution they make to the effective operation and advancement of the Institution. HAI will develop its campuses to create a first class physical environment, and will work to create a culture in which staff will feel a sense of belonging and pride. HAI’s approach will emphasize teamwork, excellence and equity. Our staff will work across discipline and organisational boundaries to achieve great outcomes. We will pride ourselves of our scholarly achievements and our recognition as an employer of choice. We will continue to implement our staff policies in relation to equity.
