Staff Development Policy

Policy Title

Staff Development

Purpose

To enable Monash to benefit from the growth and development of its people.

Supporting Research and Analysis

This policy was developed in consultation with the University's Australian, Malaysian and South African campuses.

It replaces a previous version, taking into account the findings of a review of performance management for academic staff (2007) and a University-wide review of staff development (2008).

The Monash University Ethics Statement underpins this policy and does not exclude or replace this policy or its related procedures. In the unlikely event of any inconsistency between the Ethics Statement and this policy, the explicit requirements of this policy shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

Scope

This policy applies to:

  • all campuses; and
  • all staff.

Policy Statement

The University is committed to creating a workplace that:

  • acknowledges and adheres to the key staff development principles of feedback, growth and accountability;
  • enables the continuous learning and self development of its staff;
  • encourages staff to reach their full potential by offering career development opportunities;
  • ensures staff are appropriately skilled to contribute to and support the University in achieving its objectives;
  • ensures performance and development plans are aligned with organisational goals;
  • encourages, recognises and/or rewards staff for high-performance and their work-related achievements;
  • complies with relevant legislation and obligations; and
  • is consistent with the values and principles stated in the Monash University Ethics Statement and Monash Directions 2025.
