Organisation and People Development
Develop the individual - Build team working - Improving University performance
There's always something new to learn at Derby
”The University is in a highly competitive market, one in which there is constant change. Therefore, continuous development for our people is crucial, not only to ensure we perform to our optimum but also that our staff are able to maximise their talents and realise their potential.
The Organisation and People Development Team (OPD) is responsible for identifying and actioning the priority areas for development. We are leading on several exciting and challenging strategic objectives which are clearly aligned with the University's vision and goals;
- Communications and engagement
- Leadership and management development
- Personal and professional development
- People management
- Supporting and inducting new employees
At Derby, we see the development of people as crucial to our success. There are numerous opportunities to develop personally and professionally with us.
We offer an extensive range of internally organised events and offer generous staff discounts on our accredited courses that we deliver as a University.
Current members of staff can access our Staff development pages as outlined below;
