COVID-19 has disrupted life globally, and the higher education sector is no exception. HR professionals have continued to play a vital role in supporting university leaders, staff, and students to navigate the challenges caused by COVID-19 and future ways of working and learning.
In light of this, the ACU is introducing a new Challenge Grant for HR practitioners at ACU member institutions to support their universities to achieve their missions in this ever-changing world of work.
The HR in HE Community Challenge Grants are awarded to staff at member universities working in the area of human resources to promote the sharing of best practice and collaboration. The grants can be used for a diverse range of projects, workshops, and events, including virtual collaboration, such as:
- Delivering relevant training and development for HR practitioners
- Creating approaches/policies on HR issues, e.g. workforce planning, inclusion, mental health, international recruitment, etc
- Creating HR processes
- Delivering webinars on pressing issues for HR practitioners
- Research projects
- Benchmarking of good HR practice across the Commonwealth
