Science Faculty Forum July 2015

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

How to find the top 20% Journal List Log into Socrates 1) In the menu bar select tools Select Journal list 2) You can then filter by WOS subject category, or FoR codes Top 20% journals are highlighted in green. 3) You can export the journal list to Excel 4) You can also see which WOS indices include the journal

KPIs Research: Income

KPIs HDR Supervision

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.
