The Higher Education sector is adapting to the changing strategic and financial environment, and a particularly visible part of this adaptation is restructuring within many institutions. In this episode, 3 guests from inside and outside HE reflect broadly upon restructure and redundancy – how we talk about it in day-to-day working life, the impact it can have, how it is led, and the type of support that can be valuable in helping colleagues and institutions transition to a new phase.
We also delve into the topic of who owns a career path, and whether we need to change our approach to better embed career conversations into overall professional life. While we will not have captured every angle of a redundancy and restructuring experience, the episode aims to provide an important space for some reflections and advice.
The Association of Higher Education Professionals is proud to support Job Shadowing HE as a valuable source of professional insight.
