Communication Protocols?

It appears that there are real internal and now external communication problems in Glasgow Colleges with one providing staff with the opportunity to express their concerns anonymously, through listed college individuals, including by email?

The Correlate would ask as to why there would be any need for such anonymity if the College promoted openness, transparency and respect?

Another set up Communication meetings, including through lunchtime, that staff could attend in full or in part?

Specifics tomorrow ….. including Press and Media Protocols?

Now we have one issuing a stress survey - some monkey business as its available to the public!

We note from the HeraldScotland on Friday 3 October…

“The head of Scotland's ­largest college is to step down from the role next year.

Mandy Exley, principal of Edinburgh College, has told staff she will leave the post in June after leading the 2012 merger of the institution from three former colleges in the capital.

Since the merger staff have been out on strike over pay and there is ongoing concern over the lack of progress in uniting terms and conditions of staff from the original colleges.

In a statement to staff, Ms Exley said the time was right for her to take up a new venture. She said: "I am developing different business interests, including some non-­executive director roles and plan to fulfil my long held desire to work in international developments.

"These first two years of building Edinburgh College have been challenging yet extremely rewarding.”

Just how rewarding will be interesting considering the level of payouts made to exiting Principals in the recent past … including reports of “garden leave” .. which in one case was alleged as being six months.

Just enough time to go on a world cruise - while earning around £60k? 

Anyone for gardening?
