The resignation of a staff member can be a particularly good opportunity to review where your work group is heading and the new skills that will be required to meet future challenges. Should the same role be filled in the future? Are there different ways of working to achieve the same goals? Are there issues with supply and demand that need to be addressed? Is this a chance to restructure and think more creatively about the deployment of staff in the unit? Should a succession plan be developed? These and other questions will be explored in this short and focused workshop. Participants will be introduced to some workforce planning strategies and encouraged to review their own work units with respect to the current staffing profile that is operating. \n\nAt the conclusion of the session\, participants will be able to:\n\n* Identify the different methods of workforce planning which may be applied. \n* Develop a workforce plan that recognises both supply and demand issues. \n* Consider the issues that should be addressed in their own work units with respect to workforce planning.\n\nPlease enrol online at http: //www.osds.uwa.edu.au/about/workshop.asp?workshop_id=429\n\nSpeakers: Shelda Debowski\, Organisational and Staff Development Services\, UWA LOCATION:Love House\, 28 Broadway\, Seminar Room 1 URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090821T044508Z-857-13244@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/staffdev END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090205T064100Z-857-27542@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20090205T064100Z CREATED:20090205T064100Z DTSTART:20091013T093000 DTEND:20091013T123000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090205T064148Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Improving Your Outlook ORGANIZER;CN=Belinda Ireland:MAILTO:belinda.ireland@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Outlook can be used to combine all your information from your email\, calendar and to-do list in a single view that will save you time and reduce frustration.

ORGANIZER;CN=Dr Ana Vrdoljak:MAILTO:ana.vrdoljak@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Vindicating Plaintiffs or Vindicating Rights? Towards greater recognition of subjective party interests in the selection of remedies.\n\nThe award of every judicial remedy\, whether declaratory\, coercive\, compensatory\, restitutionary or punitive\, can be said\, in general terms\, to vindicate the legal rights of the plaintiff.\n\nDoes the law’s view of vindication accord with what plaintiffs seek by pursuing a legal remedy? This paper will consider what factors influence plaintiffs in their choice of remedy and explore whether the law’s traditional understanding of plaintiff vindication is too narrow. The paper will call for a more plaintiff-centred approach to judicial choice of remedy and seek to identify the potential benefits that may result from:\n\n(a) broadening the criteria applied in remedial decision making to include factors that influence plaintiff choice of remedy\; \n\n(b) using a wider range of remedial orders to reflect these factors\; and\, \n\n(c) other ways of acknowledging plaintiff choice.\n\nThis paper is work in progress by Robyn Carroll and Dr Normann Witzleb (Faculty of Law\, Monash University). It forms the basis of a presentation to the Melbourne Remedies Conference on 11 December 2009 and is be presented in its final version at the Non-Adversarial Justice: Implications for the Legal System and Society Conference in Melbourne\, 407 May 2010. In my presentation I will outline the research question underlying this paper and the materials we will be examining to answer it. \n\nThe first article was published as “The Role of Vindication in Torts Damages” (2009) 17 Tort Law Review 16 – 44.

But there is also clear evidence that our current assessment practices are generally not very good in this regard. This interactive workshop will start by providing a theoretical model underpinning the importance of student engagement with assessment\, and will then proceed to consider case study examples of how this model may be applied in practice. Participants will be encouraged throughout the workshop to consider the potential to modify their own assessment practices\, and the possibility of adopting similar approaches in their courses.\n\nSpeakers: Dr Chris Rust\, Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development\, Oxford Brookes University LOCATION:Michael Chaney Case Study Room\, G42\, UWA Business School URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090916T030550Z-301-26621@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/staffdev END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091007T080558Z-857-14131@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091007T080558Z CREATED:20091007T080558Z DTSTART:20091125T100000 DTEND:20091125T113000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091007T081222Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Salary Packaging Information Session ORGANIZER;CN=Toni Pike:MAILTO:toni.pike@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Intended Outcomes: By the end of the workshop participants will have a better understanding of: \n* What can be packaged\n* Why some items are not available\n* What is Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)\n* The range of item available to be packaged\n* How to commence salary package\n\nKey Activities: \n* Information presentation \n* Examples of salary packaging compared with no salary packaging.\n* Group questions\n\nPlease enrol online at:http: //www.osds.uwa.edu.au/about/workshop.asp?workshop_id=647\n\nSpeakers: Rose Cunningham\, Human Resources LOCATION:Love House\, 28 Broadway\, Seminar Room 1 URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091007T080558Z-857-14131@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/staffdev END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091104T060158Z-857-20633@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091104T060158Z CREATED:20091104T060158Z DTSTART:20091125T120000 DTEND:20091125T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091104T060830Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Salary Packaging Information Sessions ORGANIZER;CN=Toni Pike:MAILTO:toni.pike@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Any staff member with a fixed term or ongoing appointment that wishes to gain a better understanding of what salary packaging is and how employees can benefit by reducing tax paid and increasing take home pay.\nBy the end of the workshop participants will have a better understanding of: \n*What can be packaged\n*Why some items are not available\n*What is Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)\n*The range of item available to be packaged\n*How to commence salary package\n\nMBF representatives will also be available for both sessions\n\nPlease enrol online at http: //www.osds.uwa.edu.au/about/workshop.asp?workshop_id=647\n\nSpeakers: Rose Cunningham LOCATION:Love House\, 28 Broadway\, Seminar Room 1 URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091104T060158Z-857-20633@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/staffdev END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091104T061335Z-857-21309@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091104T061335Z CREATED:20091104T061335Z DTSTART:20091125T140000 DTEND:20091125T153000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091104T061834Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Salary Packaging - Novated Car Lease Information Session ORGANIZER;CN=Toni Pike:MAILTO:toni.pike@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:A presentation followed by question time on salary packaging a car under a Novated Lease agreement.
